Hi,
You seem to have urge incontinence due to is detrusor hyperactivity with impaired contractility, in which incomplete bladder emptying occurs due to involuntary contractions, resulting in high postvoid residuals. Go for USG KUB (kidneys, ureter & bladder) area to detect the post-void residual volume of urine.
Otherwise, urge incontinence can be due to irritation of the bladder by infected urine (UTI); it then responds to appropriate antibiotic therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
