== Types of Urinary Incontinence ==

# '''Stress urinary incontinence (SUI)'''
#* Occurs when the intra-abdominal pressure exceeds the intraurethral pressure
#* More common in females; usually occurs in males only after a prostatectomy in which the external urethral sphincter is damaged
# '''Urgency urinary incontinence''' '''(UUI)'''
#* Involuntary leakage of urine, accompanied or immediately preceded by urgency
# '''Mixed urinary incontinence (MUI)'''
#* Complaint of involuntary leakage associated with urgency and with exertion, effort, sneezing, or coughing. Thus in MUI, both SUI and urgency incontinence (“OAB wet”) are present in the same person. 
#**'''A person with SUI and “OAB dry” does not have MUI'''
#* Management should be aimed at the most bothersome symptoms
# '''Continuous urinary incontinence'''
# '''Nocturnal Enuresis'''
#* '''Definition of nocturnal enuresis: the complaint of involuntary urinary loss of urine that occurs during sleep'''
#** Differentiated from nocturia which is intentionally getting out of bed to pass urine at night and is preceded and followed by sleep
#* An important symptom, especially in males, as it may indicate that these males are in high-pressure chronic urinary retention, which is usually associated with upper tract dilation and the risk of renal failure.
#* Nocturnal enuresis, without residual urine, may be related to the overactive bladder. This can be treated with antimuscarinics and potentially with desmopressin in the melt formulation.
# '''Postmicturition leakage or dribble'''
# '''Insensible urinary incontinence'''
#* '''Urethral diverticula (typically postvoid urine loss), ectopic ureter in females (typically continuous urine loss), and overflow incontinence''' (typically small-volume frequent urine loss, urinary frequency, and small volume voids) '''should be considered'''
# '''Other (coital incontinence, giggle incontinence)'''
