Fortunately, treatment to improve incontinence can be done with physical therapy to strengthen the muscle and medications to contain urine. However, in some more serious cases, doctors may recommend surgery to contain the problem.
Kidney stones

Furthermore, the presence of blood, frequent urges to go to the bathroom and decreased urine output are signs of kidney stones.
Treatment involves medications, teas and even surgery in more serious cases. So, to prevent the appearance of kidney stones, it is recommended to drink plenty of water frequently, and avoid high salt and soft drink consumption.
Urinary infection
