If you have urinary incontinence ideally you should seek medical advice. However, a person should have a thorough knowledge of bladder training. One should also avoid certain drinks and foods that stimulate the bladder and increases the need to urinate like alcoholic beverages, caffeine, artificial sweeteners and foods that are high in spice, sugar or acid. Smoking habits should be cut down too, as tobacco may increase the risk of urinary incontinence.
