Brief Answer:
Medicines can provide relief.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concern. However, I need to ask you how long you have been having such problems. Furthermore, did you have any cerebrovascular event or some neurological ailment? Most often urinary incontinence is treatable. The first step is to go for exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles (Kegel's exercises). You should also benefit from scheduled toilet trips, to urinate every two to four hours rather than waiting for the need to go. You may need to cut back on or avoid alcohol, caffeine or acidic foods. Reducing liquid consumption, losing weight or increasing physical activity also can ease the problem. If that does not help, you need to see an urologist and discuss about whether he thinks medication would help you. Medications that help in controlling urinary incontinence include oxybutynin (Ditropan XL), tolterodine (Detrol), darifenacin (Enablex), fesoterodine (Toviaz), solifenacin (Vesicare) and trospium (Sanctura). Mirabegron (Myrbetriq). These are used to treat urge incontinence, and they relaxe the bladder muscle and can increase the amount of urine your bladder can hold.
