Urinary incontinence in the elderly
Urinary incontinence is the inability to control the spontaneous leakage of urine from the bladder. Urinary incontinence can occur in patients of all age groups, but it is more common in elderly patients. Because urinary incontinence is more common in the elderly, people mistakenly believe that urinary incontinence is an inevitable natural consequence of the aging process. In fact, there are many reasons for urinary incontinence in the elderly, many of which can be controlled or avoided. Urinary incontinence is not a normal manifestation of aging, nor is it irreversible. Various causes should be sought and reasonable treatment methods should be adopted.
