Abstract

Urinary incontinence is common in the elderly population;however, less than half the people who have this problem are examined or treated. The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research recommends behavioral interventions before other forms of treatment in patients who are diagnosed with stress, urge, or mixed incontinence after a basic evaluation. Behavioral treatments are safe, effective, and low risk and have no documented side effects. They also can be used as an adjunct to other therapies, such as pharmacologic and surgical interventions.

摘要

尿失禁在老年人群中很常见；然而，有此问题的人中接受检查或治疗的不到一半。医疗保健政策与研究机构建议，对于在基本评估后被诊断为压力性、急迫性或混合性尿失禁的患者，在采用其他治疗形式之前先进行行为干预。行为治疗安全、有效且风险低，并且没有已记录的副作用。它们还可以用作其他疗法（如药物和手术干预）的辅助手段。
