Before being able to know how to deal with bladder leakage control incontinence you should know how to categorize and properly identify which kind of bladder leakage control issues you might have. Below we have identified some typical symptoms:
Not all bladder control problems are alike. While some of these problems can be caused by weak muscles, others may be caused by damaged nerves. Still others may sometimes be caused by medication that dulls the nerves.
In order to identify your condition, your doctor will need to identify the type of bladder leakage control incontinence you may have. This may be one or more of the following six types.
- Temporary incontinence. As the name suggests, temporary incontinence is a temporary condition and usually does not last. This condition may be due to an illness, like a urinary tract infection, that causes frequent and sudden urination that you cannot control. Another issue may be that you may find that a new medicine has the unexpected side effect of increasing your urination. These problems will usually go away as soon as the cause is found and corrected.
- Physical stress incontinence. If you leak urine when you cough, laugh, sneeze, or exercise, you have stress incontinence. This is not to be confused with mental stress as this has nothing to do with or cause stress incontinence. The “stress” being talked about here is a physical stress that results in pressure on the bladder. When your pelvic and sphincter muscles are strong, they can handle the extra pressure from a cough, sneeze, exercise, or laugh. But when those muscles are weak, that sudden pressure can push urine out of the bladder.
- Urge incontinence. If you leak urine after experiencing a strong, sudden urge to urinate, you may have urge incontinence. This bladder control problem is many times caused by nerve damage as a result from diabetes, a stroke, an infection, or some other medical condition.
- Mixed incontinence. Mixed incontinence is a mix of both stress and urge incontinence. You may leak urine with a laugh or sneeze at one time, while at another time you may have a sudden, uncontrollable urge to urinate just before you leak.
- Functional incontinence. Some people may have trouble physically getting to the bathroom. If you have urine leakage because you can’t walk to the bathroom fast enough or have other mobility problems which limit your ability to physically reach the bathroom then you have functional incontinence.
- An overactive bladder. If you have to urinate eight or more times a day then you may have an overactive bladder. Getting up to urinate two or more times each night is another sign of overactive bladder. With an overactive bladder, you feel strong, sudden urges to urinate, and you also may experience urge incontinence.
Bladder Leakage Control Incontinence can be treated as outlined above. There are many different symptoms and many treatments. Your doctor can recommend the right treatment for you.

Behavioral therapies such as pelvic-floor-muscle training and bladder-control strategies can reduce incontinence episodes by more than 50 percent in men following prostate-cancer surgery, according to new research from the Center for Aging at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the Birmingham/Atlanta Veterans Affairs Geriatric Research, Education and Clinical Center.
Jan. 12, 2011 – Men who suffered with incontinence – lack of bowel control – for at least one year following radical prostatectomy, achieved a significant reduction in the number of incontinence episodes after participating in a behavioral training program that included pelvic floor muscle training, bladder control strategies and fluid management.
Cancer scientists have designed the first molecular test to predict which bladder cancer patients may have cancer involvement in their lymph nodes at the time of surgery — which could help doctors determine which patients are good candidates for pre-surgical, or neo-adjuvant, chemotherapy.
Q: I think my dog has a bladder infection. She goes outside all the time and I think I saw some red color to her urine on the snow the other day. Do dogs get bladder infections – and what do I do if she has one. This is my first dog and I want her …
TUESDAY, Jan. 11 (HealthDay News) — Nearly two-thirds of men who have prostate cancer surgery experience urinary incontinence afterward, but new research suggests that behavioral therapy can help lessen bladder control problems for a significant number of them.
Cancer scientists have designed the first molecular test to predict which bladder cancer patients may have cancer involvement in their lymph nodes at the time of surgery – which could help doctors determine which patients are good candidates for pre-surgical, or neo-adjuvant, chemotherapy. The test analyzes 20 genes on tumor biopsies, according to a paper published online in Lancet Oncology…
