What can be done to prevent the condition?

There is no way to prevent this condition.

What are the long-term effects of the condition?

If the problem is the urinary sphincter, there is no risk of kidney damage. The incontinence itself may make urinary tract infections and hygiene problems more likely. Skin irritation and odor are likely to occur.
