Urinary incontinence treatment Dubai is as follows:
- Bladder training: this is a good start where you need to control your urge to pee for minimum 5 to 10 minutes. Slowly and gradually increase the time. We want the patients to only pee once in 3 hours or so.
- Double voiding: this is a general concept to wait a few minutes after peeing. When you feel like the bladder is completely empty then only coming out of the washroom should be considered. This will help prevent overflow incontinence condition.
- Schedule trips: you need to schedule your toilet trips instead of waiting hours before you feel the sudden urge to pee. This will help with the incontinence.
