The non-surgical approach includes lifestyle modification, bladder retraining, pelvic floor muscle exercises with or without biofeedback, and electrical stimulation. General health habits affect how our bladders work. Lifestyle modification refers to working on these health habits.
Bladder training refers to the process of re-establishing good voiding habits.
This process usually begins by keeping a log or diary of your voiding or bladder emptying for several days. This log will show your minimum, maximum, and averaging voiding intervals. Setting up a regular voiding schedule is the next step. By voiding on a regular schedule, you can help to retrain your bladder. This process may also include learning ways to quiet urges and delay urinating.
