Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

it really depends upon the type of incontinence she is having. She needs to see a urologist or a urogynecologist to determine the type of incontinence she is having. Once they know the cause of her incontinence they can tell you if there is a procedure to correct this problem.
