Urinary Incontinence Explained by Dr. Marie-Blanche Tchetgen
The loss of bladder control is commonly referred to as “urinary incontinence.” Urinary incontinence can cause minimal urine leakage, but in more severe cases, a person may experience full bladder release.
Urinary Frequency and Urgency Explained by Dr. Marie-Blanche Tchetgen
Urgency incontinence is a type of incontinence that’s due to an urge to urinate that’s difficult to defer, that leads to urinary frequency and then sometimes, loss of control of bladder function.
