Causes
There are many situations that can cause urinary incontinence. It can occur at any age, including children that wet the bed and the elderly. Stress can be a factor, stroke, some cancers, nerve damage, side effects from medications, Parkinson's Disease, and Multiple Sclerosis.
Prevention
Urinary incontinence is most often unavoidable, however one can prepare for it by wearing pads or incontinence briefs.
Common Symptoms
The most common symptom is the urgency and frequent urination. This occurs even when the bladder is not completely full. Sometimes an individual has a urinary tract infection, which exacerbates the situation.
Traditional Treatment
