Symptoms of URINARY INCONTINENCE


Stress incontinence occurs almost exclusively in women. A small amount of urine leaks out during physically stressful activities. In urge incontinence, there are sudden, repeated episodes of urinary incontinence. They are caused by the urgent need to empty the bladder. Overflow incontinence is caused when the bladder is distended or contracts poorly or not at all. Large volumes of urine accumulate, eventually producing enough pressure for some urine to repeatedly drain out. Total incontinence is seen with paralysis secondary to spinal cord disease.
