Guide To The Types Of Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence is a condition where an individual experiences the involuntary leakage of urine from their body. When an individual is not able to stop urine from leaving their body when they do not intend for it to, it is considered urinary incontinence. According to the American Urological Association, between twenty-five and thirty-three percent of all women and men in the United States population have urinary incontinence. Urinary incontinence is also known to be more prevalent among women between the third and sixth decades of their life. The diagnosis of incontinence is made with a physical examination, blood testing, urine testing, stress testing, pelvic ultrasound, urodynamic testing, cystogram, cystoscopy, PVR measurement, and a bladder diary.
