title: Evaluation and conservative management of women with stress urinary incontinence.
abstract: Urinary incontinence can be a social and practical problem. A complete evaluation correlating the history, physical examination, and screening studies confirms the syndrome and its significance, leading to the therapeutic management most appropriate for the individual patient. Although long-term cure can be effected by surgery, conservative measures are available and effective depending on the degree of dysfunction and the motivation of the individual patient.
