ESMELLA FAQ's
What Causes Urinary Incontinence?
Urinary incontinence is defined as the involuntary leakage of urine. There are three different types of urinary incontinence:
- Stress incontinence is when there is exerted pressure on the bladder, causing leakage. This can be caused by coughing, laughing, sneezing, or exercising.
- Urge incontinence is the sudden, intense urge to urinate frequently.
- Mixed incontinence is a combination of both stress and urge incontinence.
This might be a result of weak pelvic floor muscles, since pelvic floor muscles play an important role in supporting pelvic organs and controlling continence.
Physiological changes can contribute to the development of urinary incontinence; changes such as vaginal delivery, menopause, and aging can decondition pelvic floor muscles.
