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.
• Fluid and diet management: as we know that one of the main causes of incontinence is the intake of liquids in general. If you can manage to cut that down, your urine incontinence can be controlled easily with IV therapy.
