There is no drug approved in the U.S. for the treatment of stress incontinence. Currently, the main treatments for this condition are exercises and surgery. I'm not sure if your spina bifida affects your ability to do the pelvic floor exercises, but you might want to talk to your doctor about it. If that's a possibility, perhaps your doc can refer you to physical therapy or biofeedback to help.
