Incontinence means not being able to control when you pee or poop. This can affect your daily life and how comfortable you feel around others. If you have this problem, it’s important to see a doctor to find out why it’s happening.
There are different types of incontinence. Urinary incontinence is when urine leaks out. Stress incontinence happens during activities like coughing or exercising. Urge incontinence is when you suddenly feel like you need to pee. Overflow incontinence is when urine drips out because of a blockage or nerve problems. Functional incontinence is when you can’t get to the bathroom in time because of other health issues. Talking to your doctor can help you figure out which type you have and how to treat it.
