What is urinary incontinence?
Urinary incontinence refers to the problem of urine leakage involuntarily, due to the loss of the ability to hold urine. This can occur in women of different ages and at different stages of their life, considerably affecting their quality of life. It is important to mention that there are different types of urinary incontinence and that the treatment will depend on which one it is.
Similarly, the causes of urinary incontinence are also diverse, however, one of the most frequent is usually as a consequence of the weakness of the pelvic floor muscles, which triggers symptoms such as:
- Urine leaks when making an effort such as coughing, exercising or sneezing.
- Loss of the ability to hold urine until you reach the bathroom.
- Feeling that the bladder has not been completely emptied when going to the bathroom.
- Feeling of heaviness in the bladder.
