What is mixed urinary incontinence?
Incontinence is when you cannot control when you urinate. Incontinence can be caused by stress or an urge, or both. Stress incontinence refers to unintentional leakage of urine caused by coughing, sneezing, laughing, or lifting something heavy. Urge incontinence refers to unintentional leakage right after feeling a sudden urge to urinate. Mixed incontinence is a combination of the two.
