Clinic
- UI also known as involuntary urination
- It is any uncontrolled leakage of urine
- The term "Enuresis" is often used to refer to urinary incontinence primarily in children, such as nocturnal enuresis (Bed-wetting).
- There are four main types of incontinence:
- Urge incontinence due to an overactive bladder
- Stress incontinence due to "a poorly functioning urethral sphincter muscle
- Overflow incontinence due to either poor bladder contraction or blockage of the urethra
- 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]
