Understanding Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine, and it comes in various forms, including stress incontinence, urge incontinence, and mixed incontinence. Factors such as age, childbirth, hormonal changes, and underlying medical conditions can contribute to its development. It’s essential to recognize that urinary incontinence is not a normal part of aging, and seeking help is crucial for effective management.

Urinary incontinence (the loss of bladder control) is a common and often embarrassing problem. The severity ranges from occasionally leaking urine when you cough or sneeze to having an urge to urinate that’s so sudden and strong you don’t get to a toilet in time.

Though it occurs more often as people get older, urinary incontinence isn’t an inevitable consequence of aging. If urinary incontinence affects your daily activities, don’t hesitate to see New Age Medical Spa for our laser treatment.

Symptoms

Types of urinary incontinence include:

  • Stress incontinence:Urine leaks when you exert pressure on your bladder by coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising or lifting something heavy.
  • 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 neurologic 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.

Many people experience occasional, minor leaks of urine. Others may lose small to moderate amounts of urine more frequently.
