How to live with Urine Incontinence

• If you are one of them, this article is for you.
• Urinary incontinence or the loss of urinary
  control occurs when the pelvic muscles or muscles
  around the bladder weaken or lose control. As a
  result, the body is unable to control the passage
  of urine resulting in leakage.
• The loss of urinary control could be caused by
  anything from a Urinary Tract Infection to
  Prostate Cancer. It may also be the result of
  obesity or childbirth. Broadly, there are four
  types of urinary incontinence.
• Stress incontinence The cause of this urine
  incontinence, is when the pelvic floor muscles
  are weakened due to activities such as
  childbirth or being overweight. As a result of
  this, small amounts of urine leak out every time
  pressure is placed on the bladder while coughing,
  sneezing or laughing.
• Urge incontinence Also known as Overactive
  Bladder, the cause of this urine incontinence is
  either due to muscle or nerve damage in the
  bladder tissue. This results in your brain
  receiving mixed signals about your need to pee.
  This is characterised by sudden and frequent
  urges to urinate, especially at night.
• Overflow incontinence This form of incontinence
  is characterised by a constant need to urinate.
  The cause of this urine incontinence could be a
  blockage or the weakening of a muscle due to
  which the bladder is unable to empty itself.
• Functional incontinence This form of
  incontinence is when a person is either unable to
  get to a toilet, locate a toilet, or does not
  understand the need to use a toilet. The cause of
  this urine incontinence could be poor vision,
  mental health issues, physical barriers to using
  a toilet, cognitive issues (dementia, delirium,
  intellectual disabilities) or neurological or
  muscular issues such as arthritis.
