Incontinence is defined as unwanted loss of urinary control.
Incontinence affects approximately 10 million Americans, without regard of sex and age. This means that 4 out of every 100 Americans have some symptoms of incontinence. Incontinence is somewhat more common in women. Incontinence may come on so gradually that you don't realize what a problem it has become. There is no magic formula, but as a rule, if you are incontinent more than once a month, you need a medical evaluation.
