What is stress incontinence?
Weakness of the pelvic floor leads to loss of bladder support (with resultant
hypermobility of the bladder neck). Urine leakage due to abrupt increases in intra-
abdominal pressure (e.g., with coughing, sneezing, laughing, bending, or lifting).
Occurs mostly in women after multiple deliveries of children
What is urge incontinence?
Overactive detrusor muscle results in increased frequency and involuntary loss of
urine.
Urge to urinate and may be unable to reach the bathroom in time. Frequent urinary
leakage also occurs at night and disrupts sleep.
What is overflow incontinence?
Caused by incomplete bladder emptying that results in urinary leakage secondary
to detrusor muscle underactivity (e.g., age, diabetes mellitus, and multiple sclerosis)
or bladder outlet obstruction (e.g., fibroids and benign prostatic hyperplasia)
What is functional incontinence?
Functional incontinence occurs in patients who have normal voiding systems, but who
have difficulty reaching the toilet because of physical or mental disabilities
