Urinary incontinence is defined as the involuntary leakage of urine. There are three different types of urinary incontinence:
• Stress incontinence is when there is exerted pressure on the bladder causing leakage. This can be caused by coughing, laughing, sneezing, or exercising
• Urge incontinence is the sudden, intense urge to urinate frequently
• Mixed incontinence is a combination of both stress and urge incontinence
