Understanding Urine Leakage (Urinary Incontinence)

Urinary incontinence, or urine leakage, is a prevalent condition that occurs more commonly in women than in men. It can have a profound effect on daily life, leading to discomfort, embarrassment, and social isolation. Various forms of urine leakage exist, such as:

• Stress Incontinence: Leakage when pressure is put on the bladder, e.g., on coughing, sneezing, or exercise.


• Urge Incontinence: Sudden, strong need to urinate followed by involuntary leakage.


• Overflow Incontinence: When the bladder fails to empty fully, resulting in frequent or prolonged dribbling of urine.


• Mixed Incontinence: Combination of stress and urge incontinence.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to visit a Leakage of Urine Treatment Specialist in Kolkata to get proper diagnosis and treatment.
