Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare treatment outcomes for patients with mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) for whom therapy is initiated with surgery to those for whom therapy is initiated with non-surgical treatment. Women who are bothered by symptoms of both stress and urge incontinence will be randomly assigned to initiate treatment with a surgical (surgery for stress incontinence) vs. a non-surgical (drug and behavioral therapy) approach. Follow-up will be a minimum of 12 Months.

Arms & Interventions
Surgical Treatment
Surgical treatment will consist of the following evidence-based stress incontinence procedures: mid-urethral slings (TVT, TOT, TVT-O), fascial slings, and Burch colposuspension.
Intervention: Surgical
Non Surgical Treatment
The non-surgical treatment will include two components: 1. Pharmacological therapy with any FDA approved overactive bladder (OAB) drug in approved doses; and 2. Behavioral therapy.
Intervention: Non-Surgical Intervention
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Optimal Outcome of Treatment at 6 Months
Time Frame: 6 Months
Composite measure defined as "much better" or "very much better" on Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) and "normal" or "mild" on Patient Global Impression of Symptoms (PGI-S). PGI-I is a single item: "Circle the one answer that best describes your urinary tract condition now, compared to how it was before your incontinence treatment" with responses ranging from 1= "Very much better" to 7= "Very much worse." The PGI-S is a single item:; "Circle the one number that best describes how your urinary tract condition is now" with responses ranging from 1 = "Normal" to 4 "Severe".
Secondary Outcomes
- Optimal Outcome of Treatment at 3 Months(3 months)
