Safety and comfort for female urinary incontinence
Urinaria incontinence is defined as the involuntary loss of urine.
There are three types of urinary incontinence
:
- stress incontinence, leakage of urine during coughing, sneezing and walking
- urge incontinence, leakage of urine in response to a compelling urge to urinate
- mixed incontinence, that is the coexistence of the two symptoms
Stress incontinence is the most common form of incontinence in women with a percentage close to 50%. Urge incontinence is present in 10-20% of patients, and mixed incontinence results in 30-40% of cases.
Urinary incontinence increases with age.
There are two peaks of incidence over a lifetime: on at the menopause and one in correspondance of the elderly.
