URINARY INCONTINENCE AND BLADDER HEALTH

When leakage of urine becomes frequent or severe enough to become a social or hygienic problem, it is called urinary incontinence. Possible causes may be due to infection, hormone problems, pelvic support problems, abnormalities of the tissues and organs of the urinary tract, problems of the nervous system or side effects of certain drugs. There may be a number of steps involved in finding the cause of urinary incontinence, and a wide variety of treatment options, depending on the precise cause of your problem.
