| Urinary incontinence is a common condition that affects many people in Malaysia, both men and women. This condition is defined as the involuntary loss of urine that can lead to a range of physical, psychological, and social problems. Urinary incontinence can occur due to various factors, such as pregnancy, childbirth, aging, obesity, neurological diseases, and certain medications.

Types of Urinary Incontinence
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stress incontinence is the most common type and occurs when there is a sudden increase in abdominal pressure, such as during coughing, sneezing, or exercise.
|
|
| Urge incontinence, on the other hand, is characterized by a sudden urge to urinate, followed by involuntary loss of urine.
|
|
| Overflow incontinence occurs when the bladder is full but cannot empty completely, resulting in continuous leakage of small amounts of urine.
|
|
| Mixed incontinence is a combination of stress and urge incontinence, while functional incontinence occurs due to physical or cognitive impairments that prevent an individual from reaching the toilet in time.
|
|
| Functional incontinence can vary and may include physical disabilities, cognitive impairments, medication side effects, or environmental factors such as lack of access to a bathroom or difficulty using one due to obstacles or inaccessible facilities.
|
|
|
|
| Caffeine, alcohol and artificial sweeteners in diet sodas work as diuretics—in other words, they cause the body to produce more urine—and also make bladder issues worse.
