Highly Effective Ways To Manage An Uncontrollable Bladder

Biofeedback

A pricey, but effective management tool is biofeedback because it allows a person to understand how the body works by using electronic sensors to track muscle function. "Physical therapists use biofeedback to help patients understand what muscles they should contract during Kegel exercises, and/or improve the performance of these muscles by providing visual feedback to the patient during the training session," says Dr. Zimmern of UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.

Pessary

A pessary is a temporary plastic vaginal tool designed to support the bladder and vagina. The ring-shaped device is inserted to lift and support the bladder and is used predominantly for incontinence caused by coughing, sneezing, or exercising. Some women use a pessary for a few days while others have it in place more long-term. It may prevent accidents better than pads and liners and is more discrete.
