  1. There are a few medications that will help with mild bladder control problems.  Primarily they help to prevent spasm of the bladder muscles that causes leakage from the bladder.  Some times performing muscle exercises like Kegal or stop/start exercises can help strengthen the bladder muscles.  These suggestions are for mild cases, but may be worth a try prior to looking at more invasive options.


  2. There are both pharmacy and surgical treatments for  the above.  Go see the Physician, he will do an analysis and will prescribe medication to try.  If it does not work, he probably will suggest surgery.

    There are many reasons for this malady and a diagnosis will have to be made before any prescribed treatment can be affected.
