ABSTRACT
Urinary incontinence is the main symptom of disordered storage of urine as distinct from disordered voiding. It represents several underlying conditions within a classification of diseases of the bladder which needs further development. The two main disorders featuring incontinence are overactive bladder, involving urge incontinence, and sphincter incompetence, involving stress incontinence. However, there are substantial overlaps with conditions such as dementia and stroke, particularly in elderly people, and for those with discrete neurological disorders and long-term disabilities including MS, and learning disability.
