Hello, i reach the bathroom in time but has im trying to sit down comfortably on the toilet , the urinating happens automatically. I have to change my clothes , Is this urge incontinence? OAB ? Thanks 😊

[@rosevillecalifornia]

What is functional or overflow incontinence? Thanks for all your very helpful videos.

[@LevelUpRN]

Functional incontinence is when an individual has trouble physically getting to the bathroom… due to things like arthritis or Parkinson’s disease. Overflow incontinence happens when urine leaks out due to the bladder being too full. A common cause of this is BPH.

@@LevelUpRNyou’re so smart and well spoken (written)

[@remnant1018]

My urologist said I have “incontinence” because I _retain._ I have IBS-C and we found out the hard way that because the same muscle(s) that control #2 control #1, I retain #1 when I’m constipated. It sounds odd to me that she’s diagnosed me with “incontinence” when that word is supposed to mean “involuntary leakage” and I can’t get my bladder _to_ leak depending on what I consume. Is she correct???

[@carmenortiz8429]

Why I have and itching out in the cliotiris and in vaginal area.i have diabetic and I can not hold my urine anything I do the urine comes out.
