* '''<span style="color:#ff0000">If there is no improvement at 6 months despite conservative therapy and the patient has bothersome IPT,</span>''' (i.e. patient does not want to wait until 12 month time point) '''<span style="color:#ff0000">surgery may be considered for early treatment'''
** While almost all patients have reached their maximum improvement by 12 months, most patients with severe SUI will show no significant improvement after 6 months and may be candidates for early intervention
* '''<span style="color:#ff0000">Otherwise, treatment should be offered to patients with persistent bothersome SUI at 12 months.</span>'''
** '''Conversely, treatment should be offered with caution in some patients who continue to display symptom improvement at 12 months'''
