The causes of urinary incontinence are well noted such as the loss of bladder elasticity, weakened muscles, or an enlarged prostate. Medication may cause urinary incontinence as well. Most causes of urinary or bladder incontinence can be easily reduced or even cured. Doing certain exercises that tighten the muscles that control the flow of urine can stop bladder and urinary incontinence. If medication, diet change, and exercises do not work, a patient may choose to have a surgical procedure done to help the problem.
