Incontinence
Incontinence is the inability to control bodily functions resulting in the loss of urine or feces.
Urinary Incontinence is surprisingly common, affecting about 1 in 3 women throughout their lives. Many people mistakenly think that leaking urine is just a normal part of getting older, but it actually isn’t something that should be accepted as inevitable. Fortunately, it can be effectively treated.

Types of Incontenence
-
An involuntary loss of urine with physical exertion (while coughing, sneezing, lifting, positional changes etc.) This occurs due to a weak urethral sphincter mechanism during a rise in intra-abdominal pressure.
-
An involuntary loss of urine accompanied or preceded by a strong urge to urinate. The bladder is unstable or overactive.
Mixed Urinary Incontinence is the combination of both stress and urge symptoms.
-
A loss of urine associated with an over distension of the bladder. Some symptoms include reduced urine stream, difficulty initiating a stream, and tenderness above the pubic region.
-
An involuntary loss of solid or liquid stool or gas from the anus. Causes of fecal incontinence can be related to sphincter weakness, neurological and/or musculoskeletal dysfunction or damage, radiation, and cognitive impairment.
-
A mild form of incontinence, that results in little loss of urine. This can still be conservatively managed with pelvic floor physical therapy in most instances.
