Causes of incontinence

There can be numerous causes for incontinence. It can be attributed to a physical ailment or ailments or loss of muscle or nerve function resulting in involuntary loss of urine.

Incontinence is common among older adults, especially when other health ailments are present, such as Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Diabetes, Prostate Cancer, Stroke, Infections, or Immobility.
