Urinary Incontinence — Which Doctor Should I See?

Urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine. It ranges from occasionally leaking a few drops when coughing or sneezing to complete inability to control urination, affecting quality of life.

Common causes include weakened pelvic floor muscles, urinary tract infections, hormonal changes, certain medications, enlarged prostate in men, and neurological conditions like diabetes or Parkinson's disease.

See a doctor if incontinence persists beyond a few weeks, interferes with daily activities, occurs suddenly, or is accompanied by other symptoms like pain, fever, or difficulty urinating.
