Common Causes of Urinary Incontinence

Understanding the potential causes of urinary incontinence can help you better understand the best treatments to help you heal.

Urinary incontinence is often the result of one of a variety of factors:

Pregnancy

Childbirth

The strain childbirth puts on the body can lead to problems such as urinary incontinence.

Menopause

Urinary incontinence is a common side effect of menopause caused by the pelvic floor muscles weakening.

Week Pelvic Floor Muscles

Weak pelvic floor muscles can cause pelvic pain, issues with bladder control, and other problems that can lead to problems with incontinence.

Women at the age of 50 or higher are at a greater risk of incontinence due to changes that occur in the body throughout life.
