Urge incontinence occurs when someone cannot delay the bladder's message to empty. This is the most common type of incontinence and is usually readily treated with medication. Stress incontinence is the loss of urine during coughing, sneezing, laughing or lifting something heavy. Some patients will leak only a few drops while others may leak more than a cup.
Excessive weight can be a contributing factor.
