Did you know that not all types of incontinence are the same?
Let’s talk about Urge Incontinence vs. Stress Incontinence!
Here are the two most common types:
1. Urge Incontinence
What it is: A sudden, intense urge to urinate that you can't control, often leading to leakage before you can get to the bathroom.
Common triggers: Cold weather, hearing water running, or even just thinking about the bathroom.
Key symptoms: Frequent bathroom visits and the feeling of urgency
2. Stress Incontinence
What it is: Leakage that occurs when pressure is on the bladder ex: sneezing, laughing or exercising
Common triggers: physical activities, coughing, lifting heavy objects
Key symptoms: Leaking triggered by physical stress rather than urge
