What Is Urinary Incontinence and How Does It Occur?

Urinary incontinence may be caused by non-disease factors such as stress urinary incontinence, urge urinary incontinence, overflow urinary incontinence, or it may also be due to diseases such as cystitis, acute glomerulonephritis, prostatic hyperplasia. I. Non-disease factors: 1. Stress urinary incontinence: It is more common in female patients, where involuntary urination occurs during coughing or sneezing. This is mainly caused by factors such as relaxation or damage of pelvic floor muscles, and generally does not require special treatment. Surgical treatment can be performed for severe symptoms. 2. Urge urinary incontinence: It is usually caused by acute bacterial infections, such as acute cystitis and acute urethritis, which are often accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination and urinary pain. Antibiotics need to be prescribed to control the inflammation, such as cefixime capsules and amoxicillin capsules. 3. Overflow urinary incontinence: It refers to the phenomenon of urine flowing out spontaneously when the bladder is excessively distended, which is commonly seen in patients with prostatic hypertrophy or neurogenic bladder. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for relevant examinations and targeted treatment after a clear diagnosis. II. Disease factors: 1. Cystitis: It is mainly caused by bacterial infections, with common pathogenic bacteria including Escherichia coli, Proteus, and Staphylococcus. It can manifest as symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, and hematuria. Antibiotic treatment can be prescribed under the guidance of a doctor, such as levofloxacin hydrochloride tablets and norfloxacin capsules. 2. Acute glomerulonephritis: It may be related to group A streptococcal infection. When the body is infected, it can lead to kidney lesions, thereby inducing this disease. The clinical manifestations are mainly edema, proteinuria, and hypertension, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and anorexia. Diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide tablets and furosemide tablets can be prescribed to relieve discomfort. 3. Prostatic hyperplasia: It commonly occurs in elderly male populations. As age increases, excessive secretion of androgens in the body can stimulate the continuous enlargement of prostatic tissue, affecting normal urination function and causing incomplete urination. Medications such as finasteride tablets and tamsulosin hydrochloride sustained-release capsules can be prescribed to improve the condition. In addition to the above reasons, it may also be related to diabetes, cerebrovascular accidents, and other factors. If unable to self-diagnose, please promptly consult a urologist.
