Urinary Leak- We Care And Cure

What Is Urinary Leak?

The unintentional and frequent passage of urine is called urinary leak or more technically urinary incontinence. The existence of urinary incontinence is found more in women than men. According to an estimate about twice as many women as men are afflicted with urinary leak.

What Are The Symptoms Of Urinary Leak?

The most common types of urinary leaks are -

  • Stress leaks - this kind of leak is caused by weakness in the pelvic floor muscles. While coughing, sneezing or laughing your pelvic muscles undergo immense pressure and if they are weak urine may leak through
  • Urge leaks - here you feel an intense urge to pass urine a lot of times even after you have recently done so.

As mentioned stress leaks are caused by weakness of pelvic muscles and urge leaks are caused by detrusor muscles' over activeness in the bladder.

Sometimes a urinary infection may also be the cause of urinary leak.

How is it Diagnosed and Treated?

A pelvic exam, a urine test and an analysis of your fluid intake will quickly determine the cause of your urinary leak.

The Treatment will involve the following -

  • Changes in your lifestyle.
