There are many different causes of incontinence and many ways that incontinence can affect you. The most common symptoms of incontinence are experiencing the sudden and uncontrollable urge to urinate, or needing to pay frequent visits to the toilet throughout a 24 hour period. If you need to visit the toilet more than once every 2 hours, or are often subject to the uncontrollable need to empty your bladder, you may be suffering from urge incontinence, or an overactive bladder.
