patients can practice urge control techniques that is, they can try to distract themselves from the
urge to void by focusing instead on a problem-solving challenge or counting backwards from 100 by nines.

imposes a progressively lengthened interval—from five minutes to four hours, depending on patient
tolerance—between voids over the course of days or weeks.
