AB  - Urinary  incontinence  is  defined  as  involuntary  leakage  of  urine.  This  is  in  contrast  to  urine  that  leaks  from  extraurethral  sources,  such  as  with  fistulas  or  congenital  malformations  of  the  lower  urinary  tract.  Although  incontinence  is  categorized  into  several  forms,  this  chapter  focuses  on  the  evaluation  and  management  of  stress  and  urgency  urinary  incontinence.  Stress  urinary  incontinence  (SUI)  is  the  involuntary  leakage  of  urine  with  increases  in  intraabdominal  pressure.  Urgency  urinary  incontinence  (previously  “urge”  urinary  incontinence)  is  the  involuntary  leakage  accompanied  or  immediately  preceded  by  a  perceived  strong  imminent  need  to  void.  A  related  condition,  overactive  bladder,  describes  urinary  urgency  with  or  without  incontinence  and  usually  with  increased  daytime  urinary  frequency  and  nocturia  (Abrams,  2009).
