Treatment for leakage can vary depending on the type of leakage you’re experiencing and its root cause. There are two main types:
- Urge incontinence: Leakage happens when you feel the urge to urinate and experience leakage while trying to get to the bathroom.
- Stress incontinence: Leakage occurs during activities like sneezing, coughing, laughing, jumping, running, or lifting.
Some people experience both types of leakage. Common causes can include a heightened fight-or-flight response, sensitive bladder-filling sensors, tension or weakness in pelvic floor muscles, poor pressure management, or even abnormal posture.
