[Conservative treatment options for female incontinence]. Aktuelle Urol. 2017 Dec 21;: Authors: Kretschmer A, Bauer RM Abstract In this narrative review, we give an overview of contemporary conservative treatment concepts for urinary incontinence in female patients. Hereby, we focus on pure stress urinary incontinence, urge incontinence and mixed urinary incontinence. We emphasise the value of rationally used diagnostic methods to be able to distinguish between these subentities. Regarding conservative treatment options, we focus on life-style changes, pelvic floor muscle training and drug treatment, and we discuss the results of recent studies. In addition, we provide current expert opinions and recommendations to facilitate the integration of these findings into the daily clinical routine. PMID: 29270930 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
