What is mild incontinence

Mild incontinence, as the name suggests, refers to mild urinary leakage. In clinical practice, it is usually referred to as “mild incontinence” when urine flows out of the urethra involuntarily due to increase abdominal pressure such as coughing, sneezing, going up stairs, or running. Mild incontinence is not a disease, but a symptom that can occur in patients of any age and gender, but is more common in elderly people and postpartum women.

The prevention and control of common diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia have received widespread attention from the elderly. However, for equally common problems such as urinary incontinence, the elderly population is hesitant. After experience urinary incontinence, many elderly people gradually reduce their outdoor activities due to fear of ridicule or odor, greatly reducing their quality of life in their later years.
