Bladder Continence
The ability to control where and when you urinate without resorting to a-typical behavior patterns, habits or procedures.
The following are some general guidelines to help you decide if you have urinary incontinence (UI).
- Voiding 8 times or less during waking hours is normal; more than 8 times is urinary frequency.
- Voiding once during the night is a common experience for most older adults, but voiding more than 2-3 times nightly is often bothersome to the patient. Treatments should be directed at the likely causes
- Leaking while coughing, sneezing, or lifting is stress incontinence.
- Leaking after feeling an urge to urinate but before one can reach the bathroom is urge incontinence.
