What is Urinary Incontinence (UI)?
What is Urinary Incontinence and how common is it?
• UI Involuntary loss of urine;
• According to the American Medical Association,
“lack of bladder control affects 10 to 20 percent of
people older than 65”.
Main types of urinary incontinence:
• Stress incontinence
• Urge incontinence
• Overflow incontinence
• Functional Incontinence
• Mixed Incontinence
Stress incontinence
• The leakage of urine during strenuous
activities, including laughing, sneezing,
exercising and even sexual activity.
• Results from age and the relaxation of pelvic
muscles from multiple childbirths and
medical procedures.
• More common in women. However, men can
also suffer from stress incontinence due to
prostrate surgery.
Urge incontinence
Also known as:
• detrusor overactivity
• overactive bladder (OAB)
Urge incontinence is an urgent need to urinate,
often with too little warning.
It is common in the elderly and can be caused by a
variety of issues:
• Parkinson’s
• Alzheimer’s
• Diabetes.
Overflow incontinence
When the bladder is filled but there is no
urge to urinate, there can be urine leakage. This
is called overflow incontinence.
Overflow incontinence can be caused by
• Scar tissue
• Diabetes
• Neurological disorders
Other types of urinary incontinence include:
• Functional incontinence
• Mixed incontinence
• Functional incontinence is when leakage occurs as a
result of a mobility issue, such as a physical disability.
• Mixed incontinence is when there are two or more
types of UI present: typically stress incontinence and
urge incontinence.
