Incontinence is not a normal part of aging. Incontinence is a problem with the bladder or other problems such as kidney problems.

If you have incontinence you should see a doctor about it to make sure nothing more serious is going on with your bladder such as bladder cancer or kidney disease.

A doctor can prescribe some bladder medication to help with your urinary incontinence.

Never ignore urinary incontinence because it could be caused by something more serious.
