Men and women of all ages can suffer from incontinence though women are particularly prone. The most common form is stress incontinence, whereby the bladder leaks when put under pressure, for example with a cough or a sneeze, when playing sport or during intercourse. Weakness may follow childbirth, though constipation, a chronic cough or being overweight may be factors. The other form of incontinence is urge incontinence whereby a person has a sudden need to go to the toilet and in the rush, the bladder leaks. This is often caused by an infectio or bladder irritation.
