If you currently urinate every hour, make an effort to hold back for an extra five or 10 minutes. After a week, increase the time even more. Continue in this manner until you build up to an acceptable time interval, such as three or four hours, between voids. Those with relatively mild incontinence can be significantly helped with Kegel exercises, which strengthen pelvic muscles. A doctor can give you information about the best ways to locate and rehabilitate these muscles.
Various devices are available to assist with the exercises, such as vaginal weights.
Another approach uses biofeedback, which requires a trained therapist to help with the rehabilitation of pelvic muscles. In some cases, electronic stimulation can be used to directly stimulate pelvic muscles and nerves. Such exercises must be done regularly throughout one's life to achieve optimum results. Medications are also available for people unable to control the problem by behavioral methods alone. The anticholinergic drugs block nerve receptors in the bladder.
