Urinary Incontinence

Incontinence is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide!

Because it is an affliction that can be onset by aging and several other factors, a significant portion of the population currently experiences some degree of urinary control loss.

Typically, women experience urinary incontinence after giving birth or after surgery, and men after prostate surgery, which causes trauma to the Urethral Sphincter as well as the Detrusor, important muscles of the Bladder.

The Sphincters are muscle fibers around the Urethra, which is the conduit from the Bladder to the outlet.

The Detrusor is the muscle that spans around the bladder and presses fluids out of it.

Under normal clinical conditions, the Detrusor contracts only when the Sphincters relax.  If the Detrusor contracts before the Sphincters relax, it causes pain and improper emptying of the Bladder.
