Abstract

Urinary incontinence is a common, often undertreated, condition that impacts millions of Americans. Primary care physicians are well equipped to diagnose and treat urinary incontinence. Key to successful treatment is accurately determining the type of incontinence that ails the patient and using patient-reported quality-of-life indicators to guide stepwise treatment.
