Incontinence is the involuntary (accidental) loss of bladder and/or bowel control, and can be sporadic, intermittent, or constant. While occasional incontinence may happen to any adult at one time or another, ongoing (chronic) condition is quite embarrassing, affecting quality of life, and interrupting sexual intimacy.
Incontinence is quite common; it is clearly diagnosed; there are many effective treatment options; it does not have to be an inevitable result of aging. Sadly, many women are too ashamed to discuss their incontinence with their healthcare provider and rather opt to suffer in silence.
Urinary Incontinence may present as
Stress incontinence: leakage upon activities such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, jumping, running or heavy lifting — activities that puts pressure on the bladder.
Urge incontinence: involuntary leakage of urine that is associated with a sudden desire to void that is difficult to deter. Making it on time to the bathroom is not typically possible even if the bladder is not full. For some women there may be no warning at all, and for others – they may leak upon hearing water or drinking liquids.
Overactive Bladder (OAB): a condition characterized by a combination of urinary urgency, urinary frequency (daytime & nighttime), and urge incontinence.
Mixed incontinence: a combination of any of the above.
