What is incontinence?
Incontinence is a condition in which the pelvic muscles that firmly support the bladder and urethra weaken and the pelvis relaxes, so that the bladder and urethra descend and urine leaks involuntarily. If it becomes severe it can lead to loss of confidence, strain on marital life and avoidance of social contact, and the embarrassment or shame involved may cause psychological problems, so prompt diagnosis and treatment are needed.
