Stress Incontinence, Urgency Incontinence and OAB

Stress Urinary Incontinence

Stress incontinence occurs without warning when ‘stress’ is placed on the pelvic floor and bladder muscles. This might be by coughing, laughing, jumping or sneezing, and people typically pass a small amount of urine. This is more common in women, often because the pelvic floor muscles that support and hold the bladder in place are stretched during pregnancy and childbirth.

Overactive Bladder (OAB or sensitive bladder).

Overactive bladder is due to involuntary contractions of the detrusor muscle, which is a muscle within the bladder wall itself. With OAB, frequent visits to the toilet, both day and night occur, and a sudden intense urgency to urinate can lead to bladder accidents if there is no toilet nearby. Urox calms overactive bladders.

Urgency Urinary Incontinence.

This occurs when you get the urgent feeling to go to the toilet, but don’t reach the toilet in time and have an accident. Urge incontinence affects men and women at roughly the same rate and people typically pass a significant amount of urine. It’s a type of bladder weakness that is associated with overactive bladder and can be a very stressful condition which limits your lifestyle.
