Article Excerpts about Urinary incontinence
Urinary incontinence is an inability to hold
your urine until you get to a toilet.
More than 13 million people in the
United States--male and female, young and old--experience incontinence.
It
is often temporary, and it always results from an underlying medical
condition.
(Source: excerpt from Urinary Incontinence in Women: NIDDK)
Urinary incontinence , loss of bladder control, is the
involuntary passage of urine. There are many causes and types of
incontinence, and many treatment options. Treatments range from simple
exercises to surgery. Women are affected by urinary incontinence more
often than men.
(Source: excerpt from Your Urinary System and How It Works: NIDDK)
Urinary incontinence is the loss of bladder control or the leakage of
urine. It can happen to anyone, but is very common in older people. At
least 1 out of 10 people age 65 or older suffers from incontinence. It is
a condition that ranges from mild leakage to uncontrollable and
embarrassing wetting. Urinary incontinence is a major health problem
because it can lead to disability and dependency. You may feel ashamed
about bladder control problems. Remember that it's a medical problem and
it's not your fault. Millions of women have the same problem. Don't
believe people who tell you that urine leakage is normal. It isn't. Most
of the time it can be improved. (Source: excerpt from Urinary Incontinence: NWHIC)
Urinary incontinence (in-CON-ti-nents) is the loss of bladder
control or the leakage of urine. It can happen to anyone, but is
very common in older people. At least 1 out of 10 people age 65 or
older suffers from incontinence. It is a condition that rages from
mild leakage to uncontrollable and embarrassing wetting. Urinary
incontinence is a major health problem because it can lead to
disability and dependency. (Source: excerpt from Urinary Incontinence - Age Page - Health Information: NIA)
