Mixed Incontinence

It is not uncommon for someone to have both the symptoms of an overactive bladder and stress incontinence.

Mixed incontinence symptoms

• Frequency - having to go to the toilet more than 8 times over 24 hours.

• Urgency - strong, sudden need to go to the toilet which necessitates rushing to the toilet.

• Urge - this is an overwhelming urgency to urinate but not having enough time to get to the toilet. This results in wetting accidents.

• Leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, lifting, dancing, walking down the stairs, playing sport etc
