Urge Urinary Incontinence

What is Urge Urinary Incontinence?

Leakage that occurs after suddenly feeling the need to urinate; The loss of bladder control is a common and often embarrassing problem. The severity ranges from occasionally leaking urine when you have the urge to urinate or on the way to the bathroom to a more severe problem that's so sudden and strong you just can’t get to a toilet in time. A common cause is abnormal nerve signals that result in bladder spasms.
