A device for treatment of urinary incontinence in a patient, comprises a sensor, which is coupled to generate a signal responsive to a fill level of the patient's Bladder, and a control unit, which receives and analyzes the signal so as to determine a fill level of the bladder and, responsive to the determination, applies electrical stimulation to cause the contraction of a pelvic muscle of the patient, so as to inhibit the urinary incontinence when the fill level of the bladder is above a threshold level.
