Urinary Incontinence

Incontinence is the uncontrollable loss of enough urine to cause social or sanitary difficulties.  Incontinence can be a significant problem for young, middle age and older women.  Life with incontinence to even a mild degree can become very stressful.  Women suffering from incontinence may stop some of the activities they enjoy because of the embarrassing loss of urine. 

The two most common types of incontinence are loss of urine with laughing, coughing or sneezing, called stress incontinence, and loss of urine proceeded by a strong urge to go, called urge incontinence or overactive bladder.  Different types of incontinence have different causes, and different treatments.  The first step to end the incontinence is for the physician to determine which type of incontinence you have.
