Bladder Control Issues

Bladder control issues, often referred to as urinary incontinence, involve the involuntary leakage of urine. This can occur due to various factors such as age, pregnancy, childbirth, hormonal changes, certain medical conditions, or weakened pelvic muscles. People may experience different types of incontinence, including urge incontinence (a sudden, intense urge to urinate), stress incontinence (leakage during physical activities like laughing or coughing), or overflow incontinence (incomplete bladder emptying). These issues can affect daily life, leading to discomfort or embarrassment, but many effective treatments and management strategies are available, including lifestyle changes, exercises, medications, and, in some cases, surgery.
