ABOUT URINARY INCONTINENCE
What is urinary incontinence?
Urinary incontinence is lack of voluntary control over urination.
Types of urinary incontinence?
There are several types of urinary incontinence, some of which include:
-
- Stress incontinence: Urine leaks when you exert pressure on your bladder by coughing, sneezing, laughing, or lifting something heavy.
- Urge incontinence: A sudden, intense urge to urinate followed by an involuntary loss of urine. This can be caused by conditions like infections or neurological disorders.
- Overflow incontinence: Frequent or constant dribbling of urine due to a bladder that doesn’t empty completely.
If urinary incontinence is affecting your daily life, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
