Types of Urinary Incontinence:

1. Stress Incontinence:
Leakage occurs when pressure is exerted on the bladder, such as during coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, or lifting heavy objects.
2. Urge Incontinence:
Characterized by an overwhelming urge to urinate immediately, often followed by urine loss before reaching a bathroom. Urgency and frequency can significantly impact daily life.
3. Overflow Incontinence:
Results from a blockage preventing normal urine flow out of the bladder. Common causes include prostate enlargement, partially closing off the urethra.
4. Functional Incontinence:
Occurs when an individual with normal bladder function faces difficulties reaching the toilet in time due to impaired mobility or mental confusion.
5. Mixed Incontinence:
A combination of symptoms from both stress and urge incontinence, where activities like coughing, sneezing, or exercising lead to leakage.
