What is Urinary Incontinence?
Urinary incontinence occurs when someone loses control of their bladder, causing urine leakage. There are multiple types of urinary incontinence: urge incontinence, stress incontinence, overflow incontinence, and mixed incontinence. Incontinence occurs more frequently in women than men, with around 62% of women over the age of 20 having some form of urinary incontinence. If you're dealing with an overactive bladder, you need a treatment that can get to the root of the problem.

Common Causes of Urinary Incontinence
Understanding the potential causes of urinary incontinence can help you better understand the best treatments to help you heal.
Urinary incontinence is often the result of one of a variety of factors:
Pregnancy
The added weight of a child during pregnancy places pressure on the bladder, which can cause stress incontinence.
Childbirth
The strain childbirth puts on the body can lead to problems such as urinary incontinence.
Menopause
Urinary incontinence is a common side effect of menopause caused by the pelvic floor muscles weakening.
Week Pelvic Floor Muscles
Weak pelvic floor muscles can cause pelvic pain, issues with bladder control, and other problems that can lead to problems with incontinence.
Age
Women at the age of 50 or higher are at a greater risk of incontinence due to changes that occur in the body throughout life.
