Treating urinary incontinence Non-surgical treatments Both indwelling and external collecting devices are connected to drainage bags. They collect urine coming out of the bladder.

Approximately one in 20 men aged over 18, and one in 10 men aged over 60 have symptoms of incontinence. When the urine bag is approximately two-thirds full, it needs to be emptied.
