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.
