Today’s caregiver must be educated about a patient’s
condition, and proactive in helping her find the right
doctor. The physician best able to help her manage and
treat her incontinence should be both experienced in the
field, and someone with whom the patient feels
comfortable. Proper medical evaluation (what medical
tests to expect during an exam is covered in the book)
will enable a urologist to discover the causes of the
incontinence and suggest one or more treatment options
appropriate to the condition and the patient’s personal
needs. A caregiver can assist a patient or loved one by
helping her prepare a list of questions to ask the
specialist before each visit. It is important for the
patient to clearly understand the benefits and risks of
possible treatments before determining which one is
right for her.
