Types of incontinence

Stress Incontinence

Stress incontinence is the leaking of small amounts of urine during activities that increase abdominal pressure.

Stress incontinence can happen when coughing, sneezing, running, heavy lifting or laughing. It occurs mainly in women but it can also occur in men who have had prostate surgery, who have chronic constipation and strain at the toilet, or who lift weights.

A sudden onset of the need to urinate even when the bladder isn’t full.

This can occur in both men and women and is often followed by loss of urine before reaching the toilet. Often this can result in significant amounts of urine being involuntarily released.

Overflow Incontinence

Overflow incontinence occurs when you are unable to completely empty your bladder leading to an overflow, which leaks out unexpectedly. You may or may not sense that your bladder is full.

Overflow incontinence is more common in men than women. The most common cause in men is an enlarged prostate, which impedes the flow of urine out of the bladder. Also Nerve damage from diseases such as diabetes, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis may contribute.
