Incontinence is not normal. It’s OK to experience a small amount of leakage from time to time, but it sounds like your condition is becoming a social and hygienic problem. It’s neither trivial nor something that happens normally with age.

You will also talk about whether you find it easy to avoid, or if there is a feeling that your bladder is still full even after going to the toilet. Discuss any feeling of pain during urination, and whether you notice any unusual color or smell, or even stone, in your urine.
Some conditions such as diabetes mellitus, chronic cough, edema, excess weight, and a host of diseases of the nervous system can contribute to the problem. A range of drugs, particularly those for hypertension and depression, affect the urinary tract. Excessive alcohol intake and smoking are also factors to consider.
