Types of Urinary Incontinence (and What You Can Do About It)

You might occasionally leak a little urine when laughing or sneezing. Or perhaps you sometimes feel such a sudden urge to go that you barely make it to the toilet in time. Either way, it’s unpleasant — and often something people are ashamed of. But did you know there are effective ways to ease your discomfort — or even eliminate it entirely?

What Exactly Is Urinary Incontinence?

Urinary incontinence means temporarily losing control over your bladder. It might happen occasionally or occur more frequently. How often and under which circumstances depends on the type of incontinence you have.

The Most Common Types of Urinary Incontinence

• Stress Incontinence
  Urine leakage during physical exertion, such as coughing, laughing, or lifting. Often caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles.
• Urge Incontinence
  A sudden, intense urge to urinate that results in not making it to the toilet in time. Often due to an overactive bladder.
• Overflow Incontinence
  The bladder doesn’t empty properly, causing dribbling. This type is more common in men with prostate issues.
• Functional Incontinence
  You can’t reach the toilet in time due to physical limitations or memory issues.
• Mixed Incontinence
  A combination of stress and urge incontinence.

No matter your situation — you are not alone. Many people experience urinary incontinence but prefer not to talk about it. Fortunately, there are simple solutions, such as pelvic floor exercises, bladder training, or using the right incontinence products.
