An intraurethral female bladder control apparatus and method for nonsurgically inserting the apparatus distally into a patient. A preferred apparatus has a rigid plastic inner housing with soft, flexible retainer attached distally and a flow control unit mounted within the inner housing lumen. A rigid, plastic outer housing having a softer proximal retainer and distal, upper tip, surrounds the inner housing and has the distal retainer within prior to insertion. In use, the upper tip is inserted through the urethra into the bladder and the inner housing advanced to deploy the distal retainer within the bladder floor.
