Urinary incontinence is defined as bothersome urinary leakage causing a social or hygiene problem. It is a common condition which can cause distress through embarrassment and if not properly managed may affect your quality of life.

As with most medical problems the severity of incontinence can range from a small leakage of urine to more severe cases requiring the constant wearing of pads.

There is no one cause of incontinence and some are easily corrected, others may require surgery.
