Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine. It can follow childbirth, prostate treatment, neurological conditions, or age-related changes in the bladder and pelvic floor. Assessment may include history, examination, bladder diaries, and specialised tests to identify the type of leakage, such as stress, urge, or mixed incontinence.
Treatment ranges from pelvic-floor physiotherapy and lifestyle measures to medicines and, when needed, surgery. A urologist can help match treatment to the cause and to how much the symptoms affect daily life.
