Contact UsWhat Is Urinary Incontinence?
Urinary incontinence is the loss of bladder control, which results in urine being involuntarily leaked. It can occur at any time but typically happens as you age. In many cases, urinary incontinence can develop following childbirth or menopause. There are a few different types, including:
- Stress Incontinence: This can occur when pressure is placed on the bladder by physical exertion, such as coughing, sneezing, or laughing.
- Urge Incontinence: Commonly known as overactive bladder (OAB), this happens when you have an urgent need to urinate, even though your bladder is not full.
- Mixed Incontinence: This is a combination of stress incontinence and OAB.
- Overflow Incontinence: When you are not able to empty your bladder completely, it leads to an overflow that leaks out. This occurs more often in men due to problems with the prostate.

If you are experiencing repetitive problems with controlling your bladder and are ready to learn more about how to take charge again, please call to schedule an appointment with Dr. Shenelle Wilson at our Kennesaw, GA office.
