Another test can check?if your bladder empties right out. You may?also?be asked to do a bladder diary at home. Treatment will depend on what was found in the check, but could be: ? treatment of constipation and bladder infection;

? drugs or sprays to boost how much your bladder can hold, or to cut down how much urine is made through the night;
