Urinary Continence

Urinary continence refers to the ability to control when you urinate, allowing you to hold urine until you choose to go to the bathroom. It involves the coordination of muscles and nerves. Factors such as age, health conditions, and certain medications can affect this control, leading to issues like incontinence, where people have an involuntary loss of urine. Maintaining urinary continence is important for personal comfort, hygiene, and wellbeing, and can often be managed or improved through medical advice, pelvic exercises, or lifestyle changes.
