MONTREAL -- Fluid reduction is not a common coping strategy among people with urinary incontinence, although many practitioners believe it is, according to Australian researchers.

There were three groups of patients: those seeking treatment for bladder problems, control subjects who reported no bladder problems, and controls who reported some bladder problems but were not seeking treatment.
The study found that among patients seeking treatment, only 34% had reduced their fluid intake over the past 5 years while the ...
