Urinary Incontinence
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine, in greater or lesser amounts, that can occur with efforts such as coughing or laughing, with a sudden urge, or continuously. It is more common than people think and is not an inevitable consequence of age.
How it presents: Leaks with exertion, an urgent and hard-to-control need, or frequent dribbling that affects daily life and confidence.
Why consult about it: Although it may be uncomfortable to talk about, it can usually be evaluated and improved, so it is worth mentioning.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist evaluates this condition in both men and women, and the gynecologist takes part in the female case. If leaks affect your daily life, reaching out to one of these professionals will help you find options.
