Then, urinary incontinence is caused by a more serious mechanical (such as benign prostatic hyperplasia) or functional obstruction, which leads to urinary retention. When the bladder pressure rises to a certain extent and exceeds the urethra * resistance, the urine is dripping continuously from the urethra. This kind of patient's bladder is inflated, this time the body can't control itself at all. True urinary incontinence is caused by complete upper motor neuron lesion. Urination depends on spinal cord reflex. The patient has intermittent urination (intermittent urinary incontinence) without feeling urination.

Finally, urgency urinary incontinence can be caused by some upper motor neuron lesions or acute cystitis and other strong local stimulation. Patients have very serious symptoms of frequent micturition and urgency. Urinary incontinence occurs due to strong detrusor non inhibitory contraction. Stress urinary incontinence is when abdominal pressure increases (such as coughing, sneezing, climbing stairs or running), there is urine from the urethra. The etiology of this kind of urinary incontinence is very complex and needs to be examined in detail.
