Urinary incontinence, a condition where people accidentally urinate due to a loss of bladder control, affects millions of adults. It happens<\/a> with 1 in 5 adults over 40, and nearly 30% of people ages 60-70 who merely cough, sneeze, or laugh. Many things can happen in the body to cause urinary incontinence to happen from time to time, but it becomes more prevalent with age. But is that normal, and can it be prevented?<\/p>\n

This happens when you\u2019re physically or mentally unable to reach the toilet before urinating. If, for example, you have arthritis in your hands and can\u2019t open your pants in time, you may experience functional incontinence.<\/p>\n

Urinary incontinence isn\u2019t a disease, it\u2019s a symptom of some other problem. This means that there\u2019s an underlying reason for the condition that also needs treatment, so helping one can often help the other.
