Patient/caregiver was instructed regarding timed voiding as follows:

  1. Timed voiding pattern is a behavior therapy of bladder retraining.
  2. Timed voiding helps to address urinary problems, such as, incontinence, incomplete emptying of bladder, reduced bladder capacity, and frequent urge to urinate.
  3. This technique allows an individual to void and empty the bladder on a timely schedule, but not waiting for the urge to urinate.
  4. Upon gaining control over the technique, individuals can slowly increase the time interval between two successive acts of voiding.
  5. By frequently emptying the bladder and thereby, reducing the back-up of urine in the bladder, timed voiding helps prevent development of urinary tract infections.
