Treatment
The best treatment depends on the cause of your incontinence and your own preferences.
If you experience long-term incontinence, you can take some steps immediately that may eliminate or reduce the problem.
Urinary incontinence may be treated with medications, but Kegel exercises and behavioral methods are often tried first.
There are several kinds of surgeries to treat stress incontinence.
Exercise and changes in habits are often successful in treating mild to moderate incontinence.
ENABLEX is a prescription medicine used in adults to treat the following symptoms due to a condition called overactive bladder:
- · having a strong need to go to the bathroom right away (also called "urgency")
- · leaks or wetting accidents (also called "urinary incontinence")
- · having to go to the bathroom too often (also called "urinary frequency")
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
You should not take once-daily ENABLEX if you have certain types of stomach problems, glaucoma, or have trouble emptying your bladder. Side effects of ENBLEX include blurred vision, and more commonly dry mouth, constipation, indigestion, and abdominal pain. Use caution when doing certain activities until you know how ENBALEX affects you.
