Urinary Incontinence

Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence is the inability of a person to hold their urine involuntarily and emptying their urine untimely. One out of every five women over the age of 30 has more or less urinary incontinence. After the age of 65, urinary incontinence is seen in almost one out of every three women. Urinary incontinence is much more common than expected, especially among women, and this leads to limitations in psychological and sociological relationships in most patients.

Urinary incontinence is more common in women than men.

This is because:

Postpartum pelvic muscle weakness

Weakening of the urethra (urinary tract) support after menopause

It is the fact that the female urethra (urinary tract) is shorter than that of men.

Urinary incontinence is now more common in middle-aged and young people than previously thought. The problem of urinary incontinence also negatively affects the daily life and quality of life of the person. Urinary incontinence is a very frustrating problem. There is a feeling of discomfort with the constant worry of wetness and smell, and it can lead to depression by isolating the person from the society.

Urinary incontinence is generally divided into 4 groups.

Stress Urinary Incontinence

Stress urinary incontinence is the most common type of urinary incontinence in women. Urine leakage occurs in situations that increase intra-abdominal pressure, such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, heavy lifting and exercise.

Causes of stress urinary incontinence:

Overweight

Conditions with increased intra-abdominal pressure such as chronic lung diseases,

Vaginal births, especially those with a history of difficult and large baby births,

Menopause

Becoming a mother at a later age

Respiratory system diseases that cause frequent coughing

Overflow Urinary Incontinence

Overflow urinary incontinence is usually seen in the elderly. There is pathology in the neural network of the bladder. In addition, the bladder cover, which should be loosened for urine output while urinating, cannot relax sufficiently. The bladder cannot empty completely because there is no relaxation. However, due to the pathology in the neural network, the bladder cannot understand that it is filled with urine. There is no feeling of congestion and there is leakage of urine in the form of leakage.

Causes of overflow urinary incontinence:

Damage to the nerves that control the bladder due to diabetes and spinal cord injury

Change of normal place with sagging of uterus

Urge Urinary Incontinence

Urge urinary incontinence is defined as a sudden and intense urge to urinate and involuntary urinary incontinence.

Causes of urge urinary incontinence:

Having a stone in the bladder

Older Age

Some urinary tract diseases such as cystitis

Diseases affecting the muscle and nervous system such as Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, spinal injuries

Mixed Urinary Incontinence

Mixed urinary incontinence is defined as a combination of stress urinary incontinence and urge urinary incontinence. For example, the patient may leak urine when coughing or sneezing, or sometimes after a sudden squeezing sensation. It is more common in women.

Causes of mixed urinary incontinence:

poor old age

advancing age
