Here are some ...: Involuntary urine leakage - urge or stress or mixed - can be reasonably managed with drugs / surgery / mental modification for most of the patients. But, there is no cure but just modification according to the detectable, available, anatomical and functional information in the patients. But, the help is not permanent because no one can stop the tissue deterioration from expected aging effects.
