The causes of urinary incontinence ...

...can include a range of diseases and conditions, physical trauma, medication or genetics. It can also be triggered by psychological issues and severity ranges from minor, infrequent leakages to much more severe cases,

The problem often manifests itself with strong, sudden urges to urinate, or a difficulty in getting the flow of urine started. Dribbling soon after urination is another common symptom.

More serious conditions can include hematuria (blood in the urine) and dysuria (pain on urination).

Some of the lifestyle factors which can contribute to the onset of problems are smoking, lack of exercise and a poor diet.

The process of pregnancy and delivering your child can cause bladder problems in women, while in men prostate problems often have associated bladder problems.

There are also certain medications which can have adverse side effects related to the bladder, and some diseases and physical injuries can result in bladder function being impaired.
