Urge incontinence is a type of urinary incontinence characterized by a sudden and intense urge to urinate, often leading to involuntary leakage of urine. This condition can occur even when the bladder is not full, and it may be triggered by various factors such as stress, certain foods, or changes in temperature.
People with urge incontinence may experience frequent urination, sometimes needing to go multiple times during the night. It can be caused by underlying issues like bladder infections, neurological disorders, or overactive bladder syndrome. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, medications, and pelvic floor exercises.
