Urinary incontinence is usually caused by weak bladder muscles, bladder infections, kidney problems etc.

Urinary incontinence doesn't just happen because of age and urinary incontinence can be treated by a doctor usually with surgery or medication.

Urinary incontinence shouldn't be ignored and should be discussed with a doctor.
