The symptoms of urinary incontinence will depend on the type of urinary incontinence you are diagnosed with. Many deal with occasional minor leaks of urine, while others deal with more severe amounts. Types of urinary incontinence that you could be diagnosed with include: • Stress incontinence Stress incontinence is when urine leaks as you exert pressure on your bladder by either coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, or lifting something heavy. • Urge incontinence Urge incontinence is when you feel a sudden need that is intense to urinate followed by an involuntary loss of urine. You may need to urinate more often, including throughout the night. • Overflow incontinence Overflow incontinence is when you experience frequent or constant dribbling of urine due to a bladder that cannot or does not completely empty. • Functional incontinence Functional incontinence is a physical or mental impairment that keeps you from making it to the toilet on time. • Mixed incontinence Individuals dealing with mixed incontinence may experience more than one type of urinary incontinence at a time, most often this refers to a combination of stress and urges incontinence.
