Urine Leakage Problems
The lack of control over one’s bladder, or urinary incontinence, is a common and frequently unpleasant condition. The intensity varies from the occasional leakage of pee following a cough or sneeze to sudden, intense urinal urges that prevent you from reaching a bathroom in time.
Urinary incontinence is not an unavoidable result of aging, despite the fact that it happens more frequently as people age. Do not hesitate to consult your physician if your everyday activities are affected by urine incontinence. Most people’s urine incontinence symptoms can be managed with easy food and lifestyle adjustments or medical attention.
Symptoms
A lot of people occasionally have little urine leaks. Some people could more regularly drop little to substantial amounts of pee.
Urinary incontinence comes in several forms.
- incontinence under stress. Pressure from coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, or lifting something heavy might cause urine to flow from your bladder.
- Urge incontinence. You have a sudden, intense urge to urinate followed by an involuntary loss of urine. You may need to urinate often, including throughout the night. Urge incontinence may be caused by a minor condition, such as infection, or a more severe condition such as a neurological disorder or diabetes.
- Overflow incontinence. You experience frequent or constant dribbling of urine due to a bladder that doesn’t empty completely.
- Functional incontinence. A physical or mental impairment keeps you from making it to the toilet in time. For example, if you have severe arthritis, you may not be able to unbutton your pants quickly enough.
- Mixed incontinence. You experience more than one type of urinary incontinence — most often this refers to a combination of stress incontinence and urge incontinence.
