Urinary incontinence

Abstract

Around 500,000 Danes are suffering from urinary incontinence, and stress urinary incontinence and urgency urinary incontinence, alone or mixed, are the most common types. Diagnostic workup is similar for all types of urinary incontinence (men and women) and can be done by the GP. Most conservative interventions can be commenced by the GP. In complicated or treatment-resistant cases and when surgery is needed, referral to a urologic or gynaecological department can be necessary, as argued in this review.
