Urinary incontinence isn’t a disease, it’s only a symptom. With urinary incontinence, some experience only occasional, minor leaks, or dribbles of urine while others wet their clothes frequently.

Following are signs and symptoms for different types of urinary incontinence :

Urge incontinence.
Urge incontinence involves a sudden, intense urge to urinate, followed by an involuntary loss of urine.  It can also be caused by bowel problems or damage to the nervous system associated with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, or injury. Adult diaper can help this problem

Stress incontinence.
Stress incontinence involves a loss of urine when you exert pressure or stress on your bladder by coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising or lifting something heavy.  Stress incontinence is one of the most common types of incontinence, often affecting women. Physical changes resulting from pregnancy, childbirth and menopause can cause this type of incontinence. In men, removal of the prostate gland can lead to stress incontinence.

Mixed incontinence.
If you experience symptoms of more than one type of urinary incontinence, such as stress incontinence and urge incontinence, you have mixed incontinence.

Overflow incontinence.
Overflow incontinence involves a frequent or constant dribble urine caused by an inability to empty your bladder, leading to overflow. Some medications can cause or increase the risk of developing this type of incontinence. for dayli use adult diaper and its small help
