title: Evaluation and treatment of urinary incontinence: a primary care approach.
abstract: Of the approximate 10 million Americans affected by urinary incontinence, it is estimated that, when diagnosed and evaluated appropriately, 80% will respond to treatment. Primary care providers are in ideal positions to initially screen their patients for symptoms of urinary incontinence. In many situations, the primary care provider can also diagnose and successfully treat urinary incontinence as part of routine health care.
