Suggest Remedy For Urge Incontinence In An Overweight Person
Question: I am a 39 year old woman. I know I am overweight. I recently have started having issues making it to the bathroom before urinating. I will just start to go while walking. I can't seem to control it.
Brief Answer:
Its urine infection Most probably
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I can understand your concerns. What you are having is called urge incontinence.
Urge incontinence occurs when you have a sudden urge to urinate. In urge incontinence, the bladder contracts when it should not, causing some urine to leak through the sphincter muscles
The commonest cause is urinary infection.
I will advise you to get a urinanalysis and urine culture and microscopy and gram stain to look for possible infection.
