1. Urinary Incontinence

2. Urinary incontinence is a loss of control of the
bladder. In some cases, it may result in a total
loss of the bladder’s contents or it may just
cause minor leakage and commonly associated
with pregnancy, childbirth, menopause or a
range of chronic conditions such as asthma,
diabetes or arthritis.

3. Urinary incontinence is divided into three different
categories, or types. However, you may experience
a mix of the types or all three.

4. This type of incontinence may occur when you
participate in some types of physical activity—
such as when you are exercising, coughing,
sneezing, or laughing. The activity causes the
sphincter muscle, which normally holds your
urine in the bladder, to weaken and release urine.

5. Urge incontinence occurs when you feel a sudden
and strong urge, or need, to urinate. Very soon
after the urge strikes, you lose control of your
bladder. Often, you do not have time between the
urge and the loss of urine to make it to a
bathroom.

6. This type occurs when you urinate but do not
completely empty the bladder. Later, you may
lose some urine. Overflow incontinence can also
be called dribbling.

7. With functional incontinence, physical
problems such as arthritis, or cognitive
problems such as dementia, prevent you
from getting to the bathroom in time.

8. There are many causes of urinary incontinence—
including physical damage, aging, cancer, infection,
and neurological disorder. Some of these conditions
will only result in temporary urinary problems and
are easily treated, while others are more serious
and persistent.
Temporary
Causes
Aging Damage
Enlarged
Prostate
Cancer

9. Some cases of incontinence are temporary.
Often, these instances are caused by an external,
or lifestyle, factor. Drinking alcohol, caffeinated
beverages, or too much of any fluid can cause a
temporary loss of bladder control.
Temporary Causes

10. As you age, your bladder muscle becomes
weaker and incontinence becomes more
likely. Any issues with your blood vessels will
make this situation worse.
Aging

11. Any damage caused to your pelvic floor muscles
can lead to incontinence, since these muscles
support your bladder.
Damage

12. In nearly all men, the prostate gland enlarges
with age. It is common for men to experience
some incontinence as a result.
Enlarged Prostate

13. Prostate cancer in men, or bladder cancer in
men or women, can cause incontinence. In
some cases, the cancer’s treatment will cause
incontinence as a side effect.
Cancer

14. There are certain steps you can take at home to
make living with incontinence easier. Your doctor
can explain how you can strengthen your pelvic
floor muscles, if this is the cause of your
incontinence. It may involve urinating on a strict
schedule or doing exercises to work the muscles.
Home Care for Urinary Incontinence

15. You can also arrange your home to help you
better manage your incontinence. You can make
sure you have a clear and easy path to the
bathroom, keep a night light on to make getting to
the toilet easier in the dark, and use absorbent
undergarments such as adult diapers, adult
briefs, absorbent underwear or adult pull-
ups when you leave the house to prevent
accidents.

16. You cannot prevent all cases of urinary
incontinence, but there are some steps you can
take to reduce your risk. Try to live a healthy
lifestyle—maintain a healthy weight, avoid
smoking, get plenty of exercise, and eat well. Be
sure to have enough fiber in your diet, in order to
prevent constipation. You should also avoid foods
and drinks that seem to lead to episodes of
incontinence, such as coffee or alcohol.
