Urinary incontinence—the involuntary leaking of urine—is a common health concern that affects millions of people worldwide. While it is often associated with aging, it can occur at any stage of life and is highly treatable.
What is it?
At its core, urinary incontinence happens when the muscles or nerves that help the bladder hold or release urine don’t work as they should. The most common types include:
Stress Incontinence: Leakage during physical movement like coughing, sneezing, or exercising.
Urge Incontinence: A sudden, intense need to go, often followed by a leak.
Mixed Incontinence: A combination of both stress and urge symptoms.
