Urinary incontinence is a condition characterized by the involuntary leakage of urine. It can range from occasional minor leaks to a complete loss of bladder control.
Common Risk Factors for Urinary Incontinence:
Aging
Changes in muscle tone and bladder function often occur with age.
Pregnancy and Childbirth
Childbirth, especially vaginal delivery, can weaken pelvic floor muscles.
Menopause
Hormonal changes during menopause can lead to a decline in bladder and urethral tissue health.
Hysterectomy
Surgical removal of the uterus can sometimes contribute to incontinence.
Obesity
Excess weight can put additional pressure on the bladder and pelvic floor muscles.
Smoking
Chronic coughing from smoking can contribute to stress incontinence.
Neurological Disorders
Conditions affecting the nerves, such as diabetes or Parkinson's disease, may impact bladder function.
