Urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of bladder control, leading to accidental leakage of urine. It is a common condition that can affect people of all ages but is most prevalent among older adults, particularly women. There are several types of urinary incontinence, including stress incontinence, which occurs during activities like coughing or lifting; urge incontinence, characterized by a sudden, intense urge to urinate; and overflow incontinence, where the bladder does not empty completely, leading to frequent dribbling. Contributing factors can include weakened pelvic floor muscles, nerve damage, hormonal changes, or certain medical conditions like diabetes.
Treatment options for urinary incontinence vary based on the type and severity of the condition and may include pelvic floor exercises, medications, behavioral therapies, and surgical interventions such as sling procedures or artificial sphincter placement. Managing incontinence effectively can greatly improve quality of life by reducing the social and psychological impact of this condition.
