Management of Urgency and Mixed Urinary Incontinence

This article reviews management of urgency and mixed UI by breaking the management algorithm down into observation, lifestyle and behavioral changes, pharmacologic therapy, and procedural management. Stress UI is best managed with mid-urethral slings and is covered in other chapters. Behavioral and pharmacologic management are equally efficacious for urgency UI, but procedural therapy is superior. Mixed UI is conventionally treated by first managing whichever UI subtype is most bothersome. The management of overflow UI is directed at its underlying etiology: detrusor underactivity or bladder outlet obstruction.
