Many older patients with urinary incontinence hesitate to tell their healthcare providers, and even if they do, the condition may not be properly assessed or treated. As a result, patients may restrict or even totally avoid social activities. In this article, Drs Yim and Peterson stress the need for greater awareness of the problem and describe basic types of incontinence, diagnostic studies, and treatment options that can improve the quality of life of affected patients.
