What can be done to prevent the condition?

There is no way to prevent this condition.

What are the long-term effects of the condition?

A bladder wall that does not relax or that contracts too often can lead to high bladder pressure. The pressure can back up into the kidneys and damage them. If the problem is the urinary sphincter, there is no risk of kidney damage. The incontinence itself may make urinary tract infections and hygiene problems more likely. Skin irritation and odor are likely to occur.

What are the risks to others?

There are no risks to others.
