Causes for urinary incontinence<\/span><\/h2>\n

Incontinence can result from a congenital disability in the bladder, a spinal injury, or a tiny, tunnel-like hole between the bladder and a nearby area (fistula).<\/span><\/p>\n

Stress incontinence<\/span><\/strong><\/em> occurs when urine leaks out when the bladder is under pressure, such as when you cough or laugh.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Urge incontinence<\/span><\/strong><\/em> occurs when urine leaks due to a sudden, intense urge to pee.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Overflow incontinence<\/span><\/strong><\/em> <\/em>(chronic urinary retention) occurs when one cannot fully empty the bladder, resulting in frequent leaking.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Total incontinence<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/em> <\/em>occurs when the bladder cannot store urine, causing you to pass urine or experience frequent leaking constantly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
