What Can Cause Constant Urge Incontinence?
A lady I work with told me that when she feels the urge to urinate, she goes to the bathroom and nothing happens. She has a good amount of leakage when she stands up, or coughs. She has no control over it. she wears all sorts of protection for it, but its never enough.

Hello,
I think she can firstly do a urine analysis and uroculture to check for possible infection. If every thing comes out normal she may need to do urodynamic testing.
The urodynamic test is used to measure nerve and muscle function, pressure around and in the bladder, flow rates, and other factors. These tests look at how well the bladder, sphincters, and urethra are storing and releasing urine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
