    There are several types of urinary incontinence, each with its own specific characteristics:
    1. Stress Incontinence: Occurs when physical activities like coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising put pressure on the bladder, causing urine to leak.
    2. Urge Incontinence: Also known as overactive bladder, this type involves a sudden, intense urge to urinate, followed by an involuntary loss of urine.
    3. Overflow Incontinence: Happens when the bladder doesn’t empty completely, leading to frequent or constant dribbling of urine.
    4. Functional Incontinence: Caused by physical or mental barriers that prevent someone from reaching the bathroom in time, such as mobility issues or cognitive impairments.

    Each type of incontinence has different causes and treatment options. If you’re experiencing symptoms, it’s important to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and management plan.
