What is incontinence?
Incontinence is a state in which a person partially or completely loses control of their bladder or intestinal functions, which leads to unwanted loss of urine or chair. There are different types, including the stress incontinence, which leads to urine loss in activities such as cough or sneezing, and the urge incontinence, which is characterized by a sudden, strong urge to urinate. The overflow incontinence denotes the incomplete emptying of the bladder, while the functional incontinence is caused by physical or mental restrictions that make it difficult to reach a toilet in good time.
