Lifestyle changes can include:

• Cutting back on or avoiding alcohol and caffeine.
• Stopping smoking.
• Losing weight if overweight or obese.
• Using pads or other protective garments.
• Protecting skin by using only mild soap and patting the skin gently to dry.  Consider using a barrier cream.
• Making a clear path to the bathroom by removing things that could cause a fall (rugs, furniture) and using a nightlight. Consider a raised toilet seat and grab bars if necessary.
