Two days ago, I had a patient in the clinic, she is 45 years old, she always wet her pants, at first she thought she was sweating a lot, and then she learned that she was incontinent! Patients like this abound ......
Let's talk about it again, many people have a biased perception of urinary incontinence, and they don't know what urinary incontinence is. So today, I'll take you to learn about urinary incontinence!
Urinary leakage, also known as urinary incontinence, is a common physiological problem. It manifests as an uncontrolled outflow of urine, which causes the clothing to become damp. This condition is especially prevalent among the elderly and women, causing a lot of inconvenience to their daily lives.
Urge incontinence is one of the most common types. When a strong urge to urinate hits, patients are often unable to find the toilet in time, and urine comes out suddenly. This type of urinary incontinence usually occurs when the bladder is at a high level of tension, such as when a toilet cannot be found.
Stress urinary incontinence occurs when there is increased abdominal pressure, such as when coughing, sneezing or lifting heavy weights. The increased pressure in the abdomen causes urine to flow out involuntarily. This condition is especially common in women after childbirth, as their pelvic floor muscles may be damaged.
Mixed urinary incontinence is a combination of urge and stress incontinence. The patient's strong urge to urinate is accompanied by an increase in abdominal pressure that can lead to urine outflow. This type of urinary incontinence causes a double distress for patients and increases their inconvenience.
Urine dripping is manifested as residual urine dripping after urination. This is usually caused by prostate disease or bladder emptying disorders. This constant dripping not only increases the wetness of the garment, but can also trigger the risk of irritation and infection.
