Also known as: loss of bladder control, leaky bladder.
Urinary incontinence refers to the inability to control one’s ability to urinate. This can manifest itself in occasional leaks, or more severe problems with leaking urine that require more serious medical interventions.
Urinary incontinence can be caused by a variety of different factors. It can be related to other medical conditions, such as a urinary tract infection (UTI), constipation, pregnancy, prostate problems or other issues. Temporary urinary incontinence can be tied to issues such as consuming caffeine, carbonated beverages, chili peppers, chocolate or certain medications.
Treatment options for urinary incontinence can range from using exercises and training to avoid leaks to scheduled trips to the bathroom or diet and fluid intake changes. More severe cases of urinary incontinence may require medication, medical procedures or surgery to remedy the problems that are causing urinary incontinence.
