Background

  • Defined as the involuntary leakage of urine
  • Estimated prevalence of ~40% of women and ~21% of men older than 65 years of age[1][2]
  • Can have profound impact on quality of life, sexual dysfunction, and morbidity (e.g., perineal infections, falls)

Clinical Features

  • Three main classifications of incontinence: Stress, Urgency, Overflow
    • Stress: Involuntary leakage of urine that occurs with increases in intraabdominal pressure[3]
    • Urgency: Leakage accompanied by or immediately preceded by urgency[4]
    • Overflow: Continuous leakage or dribbling in the setting of incomplete bladder emptying
  • Mixed urinary incontinence: Symptoms of both stress and urgency
