==Overview==
Urinary incontinence is commonly caused by conditions affecting [[bladder]] integrity, including [[infections]], [[neoplasms]], [[surgical]] procedures, and internal sources of trauma, such as [[nutrition]] and water intake. It can also be caused by [[congenital]] and [[acquired]] [[neurological]], [[muscular]], and [[renal]] conditions.

===Causes by Organ System===
====Causes of nighttime incontinence====
{|style="width:80%; height:100px" border="1"
After age 5, wetting at night--often called [[bedwetting]] or sleepwetting--is more common than daytime wetting in boys. Experts do not know what causes nighttime incontinence. Young people who experience nighttime wetting tend to be physically and emotionally normal. Most cases probably result from a mix of factors including slower physical development, an overproduction of urine at night, a lack of ability to recognize bladder filling when asleep, and, in some cases, anxiety. For many, there is a strong family history of bedwetting, suggesting an inherited factor.

====Slower physical development====
===Causes in Alphabetical Order===
Between the ages of 5 and 10, incontinence may be the result of a small bladder capacity, long sleeping periods, and underdevelopment of the body's alarms that signal a full or emptying bladder. This form of incontinence will fade away as the bladder grows and the natural alarms become operational.
{{columns-list|
 
*[[Adult polyglucosan body disease]]
====Excessive output of urine during sleep====
*[[Aging]]
Normally, the body produces a hormone that can slow the making of urine. This hormone is called antidiuretic hormone, or ADH. The body normally produces more ADH during sleep so that the need to urinate is lower. If the body does not produce enough ADH at night, the making of urine may not be slowed down, leading to bladder overfilling. If a child does not sense the bladder filling and awaken to urinate, then wetting will occur.
*[[Alcohol]]
 
*[[Aldicarb]]
====Anxiety====
*[[Aldomet and phenoxybenzamine interaction]]
Experts suggest that anxiety-causing events occurring in the lives of children ages 2 to 4 might lead to incontinence before the child achieves total bladder control. Anxiety experienced after age 4 might lead to wetting after the child has been dry for a period of 6 months or more. Such events include angry parents, unfamiliar social situations, and overwhelming family events such as the birth of a brother or sister.
*[[Ambenonium]]
 
*[[Amines]]
Incontinence itself is an anxiety-causing event. Strong bladder contractions leading to leakage in the daytime can cause embarrassment and anxiety that lead to wetting at night.
*[[Amodopa and phenoxybenzamine interaction]]
 
*[[Andrade's syndrome]]
====Genetics====
*[[Antihistamines]]
Certain inherited genes appear to contribute to incontinence. In 1995, Danish researchers announced they had found a site on human [[chromosome 13]] that is responsible, at least in part, for nighttime wetting. If both parents were bed-wetters, a child has an 80 percent chance of being a bed-wetter also. Experts believe that other, undetermined genes also may be involved in incontinence.
*[[Anxiety]]
 
*[[Artificial sweeteners]]
====Obstructive sleep apnea====
*[[Autoimmune myelopathy]]
Nighttime incontinence may be one sign of another condition called obstructive sleep apnea, in which the child's breathing is interrupted during sleep, often because of inflamed or enlarged tonsils or adenoids. Other symptoms of this condition include snoring, mouth breathing, frequent ear and sinus infections, sore throat, choking, and daytime drowsiness. In some cases, successful treatment of this breathing disorder may also resolve the associated nighttime incontinence.
*[[Autonomic neuropathy]]
 
*[[Autonomic seizure]]
====Structural problems====
*[[Autosomal dominant leukodystrophy ]]
Finally, a small number of cases of incontinence are caused by physical problems in the urinary system in children. A condition known as urinary reflux or vesicoureteral reflux, in which urine backs up into one or both ureters, can cause urinary tract infections and incontinence. Rarely, a blocked bladder or urethra may cause the bladder to overfill and leak. Nerve damage associated with the birth defect spina bifida can cause incontinence. In these cases, the incontinence can appear as a constant dribbling of urine.
*[[Azinphos-methyl]]
 
*[[Basal ganglia calcification]]
====Causes of daytime incontinence====
*[[Bethanechol chloride]]
[[Daytime Wetting|Daytime incontinence]] that is not associated with urinary infection or anatomic abnormalities is less common than nighttime incontinence and tends to disappear much earlier than the nighttime versions. One possible cause of daytime incontinence is an overactive bladder. Many children with daytime incontinence have abnormal voiding habits, the most common being infrequent voiding.
*[[Binswanger disease]]
 
*[[Bladder cancer]]
====An overactive bladder====
*[[Bladder fistula]]
Muscles surrounding the urethra (the tube that takes urine away from the bladder) have the job of keeping the passage closed, preventing urine from passing out of the body. If the bladder contracts strongly and without warning, the muscles surrounding the urethra may not be able to keep urine from passing. This often happens as a consequence of urinary tract infection and is more common in girls.
*[[Bladder spasms]]
 
*[[Bladder stones]]
====Infrequent voiding====
*[[Botulinum toxin]]
Infrequent voiding refers to a child's voluntarily holding urine for prolonged intervals. For example, a child may not want to use the toilets at school or may not want to interrupt enjoyable activities, so he or she ignores the body's signal of a full bladder. In these cases, the bladder can overfill and leak urine. Additionally, these children often develop urinary tract infections (UTIs), leading to an irritable or overactive bladder.
*[[Brain failure]]
 
*[[Bromophos]]
====Other causes====
*[[Caffeine]]
Some of the same factors that contribute to nighttime incontinence may act together with infrequent voiding to produce daytime incontinence. These factors include
*[[Carbamates]]
 
*[[Carbonated drinks]]
* A small bladder capacity
*[[Cauda equina syndrome]]
* Structural problems
*[[Cerebral palsy]]
* Anxiety-causing events
*[[Cerebrovascular accident]]
* Pressure from a hard bowel movement (constipation)
*[[Childbirth]]
* Drinks or foods that contain caffeine, which increases urine output and may also cause spasms of the bladder muscle, or other ingredients to which the child may have an allergic reaction, such as chocolate or artificial coloring
*[[Chromosome 11]]
 
*[[Chromosome 13]]
Sometimes overly strenuous toilet training may make the child unable to relax the sphincter and the pelvic floor to completely empty the bladder. Retaining urine (incomplete emptying) sets the stage for urinary tract infections.
