What Is Urinary Incontinence and How It Develops
Urinary incontinence refers to the involuntary leakage of urine due to changes in bladder function or control mechanisms. It may occur because the bladder muscles are overactive, the urethral sphincter is weak, or nerve signals that control urination are disrupted. Factors such as ageing, pregnancy and childbirth, prostate surgery, pelvic floor strain, chronic cough, obesity, or neurological conditions may contribute. Identifying the cause helps guide effective treatment and support.
