Incontinence is the inability to control the passage of urine. This can range from an occasional leakage of urine, to a complete inability to hold any urine. The three main types of urinary incontinence are: Stress incontinence - occurs during certain activities like coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise; Urge incontinence - involves a strong, sudden need to urinate followed by instant bladder contraction and involuntary loss of urine.
