Urinary incontinence is a condition in which the urinary bladder loses its ability to hold urine for various reasons, resulting in involuntary leakage of urine. Urinary incontinence complaint temporarily, pregnancy; urinary tract infections; some medications such as heart, blood pressure, muscle relaxants; It may develop due to consumption of products such as alcohol, caffeine, carbonated drinks, and hot spices. Persistent urinary incontinence may occur due to aging, menopause, invasive birth, multiple births, obesity, conditions where intra-abdominal pressure increases due to constant straining and chronic cough, and some neurological diseases.

We can examine the most common types of urinary incontinence under three main headings:

• Sudden involuntary urinary leakage that occurs in situations that increase intra-abdominal pressure such as coughing, straining, or sneezing is called 'Stress Incontinence'. It is the most common type of urinary incontinence. It is especially seen in older women. It is seen due to damage to the muscles in the pelvic floor (pelvic floor) due to difficult births and weakening due to age.
• 'Urge Incontinence' ('Urge' Incontinence) is urinary incontinence that comes with a sudden feeling of urgency. In this case, the bladder contracts against the person's will, resulting in urinary incontinence. With the sudden feeling of urgency, the person leaks urine before reaching the toilet.
• The third type is 'Mixed Incontinence', where stress and urge incontinence occur together.

Urinary incontinence is a condition that definitely disrupts the quality of life. Having to constantly use pads, odor and urinary incontinence developing in unexpected environments negatively affect women's self-confidence and may even cause them to become socially isolated. This situation also negatively affects sexual life.

'Urge Incontinence' ('Urge' Incontinence) is treated with lifestyle changes and medication.

Treatment of 'Stress Incontinence', which develops due to increased intra-abdominal pressure, is possible with surgery.
