About Urinary Incontinence
Types of Urinary Incontinence
Incontinence signals a change in the body's function. In some cases, it is the result of natural changes that occur over time such as the weakening of pelvic floor muscles, pelvic ligaments, and connective tissues in women, or may result from therapies designed to treat enlargement of the prostate gland in men. In other cases, it is a result of injury or an indication of a more serious problem.
The main types of urinary incontinence are listed to the right. Click the links to learn more:
