Frequent & Nighttime Urination

Q. Can urinary incontinence be treated without surgery?

A.

Yes, conservative treatment is highly effective for mild-moderate incontinence.

📝 Detailed Answer

Korean medicine effectively treats urinary incontinence (especially urge type, post-prostate-surgery, age-related): ① kidney-Qi tonic (Pal-mi-hwan, Yukmijiwhang-tang), ② acupuncture (BL23, BL28, CV3, SP6, etc.), ③ pelvic floor muscle exercises (Kegel), ④ moxibustion. 60–70% improve over 2–3 months. Severe incontinence (large prostate post-surgery, sphincter damage) may require surgery. Western medicine (anticholinergics) can be combined.
