Did you know there are 4 types of urinary incontinence?
Did you know there are four different types of urinary incontinence? Well now you do, and below are brief definitions of what they are.
1. Stress Incontinence
This is the most prevalent type, triggered by bladder pressure during activities like bending, lifting, exercising, coughing, and sneezing. Being overweight or having weak pelvic floor muscles can also contribute to this type.
2. Overflow incontinence
This occurs when the body produces excessive urine that the bladder cannot hold, or when the bladder is full but cannot empty completely, resulting in leakage. It is often associated with prostate issues or surgery.
3. Overactive bladder (urge incontinence)
In this condition, the bladder muscles contract involuntarily, creating a sudden urge to wee even when the bladder is not full. Physical problems like spinal, brain, or nerve damage can cause an overactive bladder.
4. Functional incontinence
This type is related to diseases or disabilities that make it challenging for individuals to reach a bathroom in time. If you are experiencing incontinence and are unsure about its cause, it is helpful to note your symptoms, as it can assist your doctor in identifying the underlying cause and type.
