Not only did it help with embarrassing situations, but it meant we didn\u2019t need to wear diapers anymore. So, when we develop urinary incontinence as an adult, it can become a problem. An estimated 25 million people, 80% which are women, suffer from urinary incontinence. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Urinary incontinence (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/gordongunnmd.com\/gynecology-fullerton-medical-services.html\" target=\"_blank\">Urinary incontinence<\/a>, also known as bladder incontinence, is the loss of bladder control. In some cases, individuals suffer from a total loss of bladder contents or it may just cause minor leakage. While this issue is completely natural, it\u2019s more than just medical problem; it can affect your emotional, psychological and social life as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many people who think urinary incontinence comes with age, but it is actually a symptom that can be caused by many conditions, and they differ between men and women. Urinary incontinence is separated into three <a href=\"http:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/165408.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"different types (opens in a new tab)\">different types<\/a>, and some may experience a mix of the types or all three. Here is a quick breakdown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stress incontinence.<\/strong> This type of incontinence occurs\nwhen you apply pressure on your bladder by exercising, laughing, sneezing,\ncoughing or lifting something heavy. The activity causes the sphincter to\nweaken and release urine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Urge incontinence.<\/strong> Urge incontinence occurs when you\nfeel the sudden, intense urge or need to urinate. Often times, after feeling\nthe urge to go you won\u2019t have time between the urge and the loss of urine to\nmake it to the restroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overflow incontinence.<\/strong> This type occurs when you experience frequent dribbling or urine, due to the fact that your bladder doesn\u2019t empty completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you would like more information on urinary incontinence, contact Dr. Gordon C. Gunn MD at 714-912-2211\u00a0or visit\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gordongunnmd.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.gordongunnmd.com<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<strong>to schedule an appointment today.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr. Gordon Gunn proudly serves Fullerton and all surrounding areas.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we are kids, we learn to control our bladders.
