La incontinencia es cuando no puede controlar cuándo orina. La incontinencia puede ser causada por estrés o por urgencia, o por ambos. La incontinencia de esfuerzo se refiere a la fuga involuntaria de orina causada por toser, estornudar, reír o levantar algo pesado. La incontinencia de urgencia se refiere a la fuga involuntaria justo después de sentir una necesidad repentina de orinar. La incontinencia mixta es una combinación de las dos.
