Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bladder training typically involves gradually increasing the time between trips to the bathroom and strengthening pelvic floor muscles through exercises such as Kegels. Instilling DMSO in the bladder is a treatment for interstitial cystitis, not urinary incontinence. Using the services of a chronic pain center would not be necessary for incontinence. Warm sitz baths may provide temporary relief, but do not address the underlying issue of bladder control.
