There are some lifestyle changes that people can try to improve symptoms such as:

• Lifestyle changes - such as losing weight and cutting down on caffeine and alcohol
• Pelvic floor exercises - exercising the pelvic floor muscles by squeezing them
• Bladder training - where you learn ways to wait longer between needing to urinate and passing urine (with a specialist's advice)

Patients may also benefit from using incontinence products.

For serious cases, the patients' GP may supply medication or refer them to a specialist for surgery.
