Types of urinary incontinence
Stress Incontinence
Leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or engage in physical activity.
Urge Incontinence
A sudden, intense urge to urinate, followed by involuntary leakage.
Mixed Incontinence
A combination of both stress and urge incontinence.

Overflow Incontinence
Frequent or constant dribbling caused by the bladder not emptying completely.

Functional Incontinence
The inability to reach the bathroom in time due to physical or cognitive impairments, such as limited mobility or dementia.

Nocturnal Enuresis (Night-time Incontinence)

Involuntary leakage of urine during sleep, often affecting children but can also impact adults. This may be linked to bladder overactivity or hormone imbalances.

Risk factors contribute to urinary incontinence

Weak Pelvic Floor Muscles: Often due to childbirth, aging, or obesity.
Hormonal Changes: Menopause can lead to thinning of the urethra lining.
Infections: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) can cause temporary incontinence.
Neurological Disorders: Conditions like multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease can disrupt nerve signals to the bladder.
Chronic Constipation: Straining during bowel movements can weaken pelvic floor muscles.
High-impact Activities: Repeated strain from activities like running or jumping can weaken the pelvic floor over time.
