Some patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (frequency and urgency) will benefit from behavioral therapy. This form of therapy can range from dietary adjustments to habit breaking. Sometimes patients are encouraged to avoid irritants to the urinary tract such as tea, coffee, and dietary sweeteners. Other times, patients are encouraged to do timed-voiding such that they are emptying their bladders by the clock as opposed to when they feel like doing so. For some patients, referral to a pelvic floor physical therapist is necessary to not only work on pelvic floor strengthening but also to focus on behaviors that are compromising normal voiding patterns.
