Prognosis | Urge Incontinence

Prognosis

Both the course and prognosis of urge incontinence depend to a large extent on the causative disease. Since the treatment of the underlying disease is an important pillar in the treatment of urge incontinence, the prognosis of this form of urinary incontinence is much better with a known genesis. In addition, the age of the affected person also plays a decisive role.

Particularly in patients who have reached the age of 70, urge incontinence can only be treated to a limited extent. For this reason, it is important for affected patients to be able to urinate at night within a short distance. A so-called commode chair, which should be positioned near the bed, can often provide relief.
