Urinary incontinence (UI) is any involuntary leakage of urine, whether it's a large amount or just a few drops.
Tens of millions of men and women in the United States experience urinary incontinence at some point in their lives. There are several possible causes of UI, explored below.
The four most common types of urinary incontinence are:
- Stress urinary incontinence: leakage with physical activity (for example – with coughing, laughing, sneezing)
- Urge urinary incontinence: leakage preceded by a sudden urge to urinate
- Mixed urinary incontinence: a mix of both stress and urge incontinence
- Overflow urinary incontinence: involves leakage due to a bladder that is too full
Urinary incontinence is common, but it can be managed and even reversed, in some cases. The expert urologic team at Weill Cornell offers personalized care and will work closely with you to determine your best treatment option.
