If urine incontinence interferes with your everyday activities, visit Dr. Shweta Shah, one of the best gynecologist in Mumbai.

 

Symptoms of urinary incontinence

Many people have minor urine leaks from time to time. Others may have a greater tendency to lose moderate quantities of urine.

 

Types of urinary incontinence:

Incontinence due to stress

Coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, or lifting something heavy puts strain on your bladder, causing urine to leak.

Urge incontinence

You suddenly experience a strong urge to urinate, followed by an involuntary loss of urine. It may be due to some condition like diabetes or a neurological problem.

Overflow incontinence

Due to a bladder that does not empty entirely, you endure frequent or continual dribbling of urine.

Functional incontinence

You cannot make it to the restroom on time due to a physical or mental issue. 

Mixed incontinence

You have more than one form of urine incontinence.
