There are two main types of operations for incontinence: bladder neck suspension procedures and injecting bulking agents or &#8220;filler&#8221; procedures. Within the medical community, the comparative effectiveness of these procedures is still being debated but if done well can be up to 95% effective. \u00a0If you are considering surgery, it is important that the decision be based on your individual circumstances, the amount of leakage and the exertion effort that cause the leakage.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1b8a36 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c1b8a36\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"><strong><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">Urge incontinence: <\/span><\/strong><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">The best treatment for urge incontinence is behaviour therapy in the form of pelvic floor muscle exercises.
