Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence (UI) is a condition where involuntary loss of urine is a social or hygienic problem. UI may be broadly divided into stress UI (SUI) and urge UI (UUI) although “mixed” incontinence is not uncommon. 

Urinary incontinence affects both men and women. SUI is more commonly diagnosed in women and is associated with anatomical stresses caused by pregnancy and childbirth. Men may experience UUI as a result of prostate enlargement.
