Overflow incontinenc: Before doing a procedure to improve your quality of life, your bladder function needs to be studied to insure there is nothing going on that will negatively impact your kidney function. Then, based on the result, things can definitely be done to help you such as starting intermittent catheterization. Good luck!

Incontinence: Unfortunately one of the few options in this case is to learn how to self catheterize. This will allow you to void more on your schedule.
