Stress Incontinence Prognosis (Expectations)
Behavioral changes, pelvic floor exercise therapy, and medical management of stress incontinence usually improves symptoms rather than cures the disorder. Surgery may have a 75% to 95% cure rate when patients are carefully selected.
A poorer outcome is expected in people with previous surgical failures, other genital or urinary problems, or with systemic conditions that may prevent adequate healing or make the technical aspects of the surgery more difficult.
