Non-surgical management of urinary stress incontinence

Recent literature was reviewed and an attempt has been made to present an objective assessment for all the modalities currently available for the incontinent woman. It is necessary to stress the need for the use of a combination of modalities for better results when non-surgical approach is used as the first line option. It is also important to be empathetic and supportive of such women as they usually have an extremely poor self esteem, are depressed and reclusive.
