Abstract:
Urinary incontinence is a common problem in the ambulatory frail elderly population. An evaluation of the incontinent patient, performed in the physician's office, can suggest an etiology and appropriate therapies. Behavioral therapies, patient and caregiver education, environmental supports, and a few carefully selected medications can help these frail patients to control incontinence and improve their quality of life.
