Example #2- Moderate Urge Incontinence

A 67 year old woman went to her doctor complaining about a gradual development of urinary incontinence. She complained that when she had to empty her bladder she would start to leak before she could get to the bathroom. She did not leak when she coughed or sneezed. She drank 6 cups of coffee a day and two litres of water to help keep her weight down. The doctor did a urine test to determine that there was no infection in the bladder. The doctor recommended that this woman change her lifestyle by significantly reducing her coffee and switching to decaf. He also advised reducing her water intake to 1 liter per day. Within one week of making these changes, the woman was no longer experiencing urgency incontinence and found that she needed to go to the bathroom less frequently.
