La incontinencia urinaria es la pérdida del control de la vejiga. Hay varios tipos de incontinencia urinaria, incluida la incontinencia de esfuerzo, en la que la orina se filtra durante las actividades que ejercen presión sobre el abdomen; incontinencia de urgencia, como resultado de una vejiga hiperactiva que se contrae inesperadamente; incontinencia por rebosamiento, que ocurre cuando la vejiga se debilita o una uretra bloqueada impide el vaciado normal; problemas de retención que ocurren cuando la orina no puede salir de la vejiga; y problemas de urgencia y frecuencia, cuando hay una necesidad incontrolable de orinar que resulta en vaciar la vejiga con más frecuencia de lo normal.
