Urinary incontinence - loss of bladder control - is a common problem. The difficulty comes from the occasional refreshing urine when coughing or sneezing to the urge to urinate and it is hard not to reach the toilet on time. Although it happens more often as people get older, urinary incontinence is not an inevitable part of aging. If deterioration of your urine affects your daily activities, do not hesitate to see your doctor. For many people, simple lifestyle changes or treatments can alleviate discomfort or stop urinary incontinence.
