Urinary Incontinence In Women – How Big Is The Issue?

Urinary Incontinence is any accidental or involuntary loss of urine from the bladder.

Incontinence is more common than most people would like to acknowledge and ranges in severity from 'just a small leak' to complete loss of the bladder. In a study done, it was found that around 40% of women in India between the ages of 30 to 50 years suffered from this problem. As the issue is considered a social taboo, most people don't get help. People with urinary incontinence are frequently depressed. They often curtail all social activities and stay at home.

There are different types of urinary incontinence like

• Stress urinary incontinence is when urine leakage occurs because of sudden pressure on the lower stomach muscles during coughing, laughing, sneezing, weight-lifting or exercise.
• Urge urinary incontinence occurs when the need to urinate comes on too fast usually seen in the elderly.
