- Stress Incontinence—you urinate when you cough, sneeze or laugh, or when you stand up from a chair, go for a walk, or do any type of exercise.
- Overflow Incontinence—you can’t fully empty your bladder, so the urine dribbles or leaks out frequently, or even continuously.
Once we know your symptoms, we will also look at your full medical history, conduct a physical examination and possibly do some diagnostic testing.
