Explanation:
In urge incontinence, (overactive bladder), urgency is followed by immediate involuntary
leakage due to uncontrolled detrusor contractions that overcome urethral resistance.
Following an urge to void, there is an involuntary loss of urine since the patient cannot get
to the toilet quickly enough. Overflow incontinence is associated with a neurological or
anatomical obstruction from pelvic organs or the prostate which limits bladder emptying
and causes an overdistended bladder. Stress incontinence is commonly seen in women and
arises from decreased intraurethral pressure. This condition is generally noted when a
patient coughs, sneezes, or laughs. Functional incontinence usually arises from cognitive
impairment, musculoskeletal problems, or immobility.
