Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of bladder control, affecting quality of life. It can be stress incontinence (leakage during physical activity), urge incontinence (sudden strong urge to urinate), overflow incontinence (incomplete bladder emptying), or functional incontinence (due to mobility issues). Causes include weak pelvic muscles, nerve damage, infections, aging, and medical conditions like diabetes or stroke. Treatment options include pelvic floor exercises (Kegels), medications, bladder training, lifestyle modifications, and in severe cases, surgery.
