Occasionally, the bladder neck can be thickened by injecting a non-absorbable material. This can help some people to hold urine more easily.

Rarely, an electrical stimulator may be surgically implanted. This device periodically stimulates the sacral nerve which is the nerve that controls bladder function and pelvic muscles. This may reduce symptoms in certain people who have urge incontinence or overflow of the bladder.

Other Strategies

If you smoke and your urine leaks when you cough, this is an excellent reason for you to quit smoking. Seek treatment from your doctor for your cough.

Although pads or adult diapers can offer security, these products can also irritate the skin, and they should not be the first or only treatment used for incontinence.
