Incontinence

Urinary incontinence (any involuntary leakage of urine) can be a common and distressing problem that can profoundly impact quality of life. Bladder symptoms are much more common in women than men, and more common in older women than younger women. Urinary incontinence almost always results from an underlying treatable medical condition. Different types of incontinence include, stress, urge, mixed and overflow.
