Treatment
Exercises
Kegel exercises to strengthen or retrain pelvic floor muscles and sphincter muscles can reduce stress leakage.[1] Patients younger than 60 years old benefit the most.[1] The patient should do at least 24 daily contractions for at least 6 weeks. [1]
Medications
A randomized controlled trial found that trospium is effective.[2]
