  2. Stress incontinence due to "a poorly functioning urethral sphincter muscle
  3. Overflow incontinence due to either poor bladder contraction or blockage of the urethra
  4. Mixed incontinence involving features of different other types

Causes

• Urinary incontinence can result from both urologic and non-urologic causes. Urologic causes can be classified as either bladder dysfunction or urethral sphincter incompetence and may include detrusor overactivity, poor bladder compliance, urethral hypermobility, or intrinsic sphincter deficiency. Non-urologic causes may include infection, medication or drugs, psychological factors, polyuria, hydrocephalus, stool impaction, and restricted mobility. The causes leading to urinary incontinence are usually specific to each sex, however, some causes are common to both men and women.^{[citation needed]}
