Urinary incontinence is a common condition that affects many women, characterized by the involuntary loss of urine. It can range from a minor leakage to a complete loss of bladder control, significantly impacting a woman’s quality of life. At Dr. Nivya Hospital, we provide comprehensive care for urinary incontinence, focusing on accurate diagnosis, effective treatment options, and personalized support.
Types of urinary incontinence include:
Stress Incontinence: This occurs when physical activities such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising put pressure on the bladder, leading to leakage. It’s often caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles and tissues.
Urge Incontinence: This type is characterized by a sudden, intense urge to urinate followed by involuntary leakage. It may be linked to bladder overactivity or neurological conditions.
Mixed Incontinence: This is a combination of stress and urge incontinence, where a woman experiences symptoms of both types.
Overflow Incontinence: This occurs when the bladder does not empty completely, leading to frequent or constant dribbling of urine. It can result from blockages or weakened bladder muscles.
