Overview
The article summarizes current views on etiology, diagnosis and therapy of incontinence. Incontinence remains a persistent problem for patients and doctors. Frustrated patients fluctuate between nihilism and unrealistic notions of treatment options. Doctors have the difficult task of choosing the right examination and treatment procedure for an increasing number of patients with a number of comorbidities and the associated volume of medications used. Although there is no ideal solution for incontinence, proven knowledge and information help doctors choose an individual way for patients to manage their situation optimally.
