Stress urinary incontinence in woman
Urinary incontinence is any involuntary leakage of urine. It occurs in all age, including children. Because the urinary tract develops for up to 12 years, urine leakage is tolerable as physiological until this age. Then it becomes burdensome, mentally, socially and economically. The success of urinary incontinence treatment depends on determining its type. Despite the fact that it is a relatively common problem in urological practice, it is not given enough space and is often downplayed, especially in the elderly.
