Abstract

Urinary incontinence is the complaint of involuntary leakage (loss) of urine. It has a substantial impact on health related quality of life and is associated with considerable personal and societal expenditure. The potential cause of urinary incontinence includes dysfunction of the detrusor muscle or muscles of the pelvic floor, dysfunction of the neural controls of storage & voiding and many more. A full evaluation for the urinary incontinence requires physical examination, past medical & medications history, urinalysis and assessment of quality of life. Interventions can include non-surgical options (lifestyle changes, pelvic floor muscles training, drugs) and surgical options to support the urethra or increase bladder capacity. In this article, the concept of urinary incontinence along with its treatment aspects was discussed.
