Double incontinence is possible where a person experiences both urinary and fecal incontinence.
Intermittent Catheterization is used for urinary retention. Catheters are inserted through the urethra into the bladder to drain the urine every three to six hours. This condition can cause stress incontinence and has been associated with a weak urethral sphincter that is unable to perform during stress maneuvers. The urethral sphincter is unable to produce tension in the bladder, and it does not contract to hold the urine. This deficiency has been linked to congenital sphincter weakness, spin bifida, prostatectomy, trauma, radiation therapy, or sacral cord lesions.
