Many people have problems with urine leakage, also known as incontinence.
There are four main types of incontinence:
Stress incontinence
Leakage of urine due to an incompetent sphincter and/or weak pelvic floor muscles, which occurs when the bladder is stressed by coughing, laughing, etc.
Urge incontinence
The inability to delay urination, due to an overactive bladder
Mixed incontinence
A combination of urge and stress incontinence.
Overflow incontinence
Due to outflow obstruction or an underactive bladder (which can have many causes).
