Behavioral therapy refers to bladder re-training.
A regular timetable is set for voiding depending
on the patient’s ability to hold urination. As the
patient improves, voiding intervals are increased.
This method helps patients with both detrusor overand
under-activity. In addition to the above, use
of a protective pad or undergarment must be
practiced to avoid social and medical problems.
Management of incontinence due to neurological
problems may not always be reversible but is an
integral part of the patient’s rehabilitation efforts.
In patients with urinary catheters, asymptomatic
bacteriuria need not be treated.
