Causes of Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence can be caused by weakened pelvic muscles, organ prolapse, and urinary tract infections. Here's a bit more information on those conditions:

Weakened pelvic muscles - Common causes of weak pelvic muscles in women are pregnancy, childbirth, and straining due to constipation. Urinary incontinence is often a byproduct of pregnancy and childbirth, but this doesn’t mean you should just deal with it. Contact your doctor if you are experiencing peeing when you sneeze or cough.

Organ prolapse - Prolapse means “drop,” so organ prolapse is when the pelvic floor stops supporting the pelvic organs. The most common pelvic organ that is affected when organ prolapse occurs is the bladder. This is why organ prolapse usually results in urinary incontinence. 

Urinary tract infections - Not all urinary tract infections result in incontinence but some do because your bladder is affected by a urinary tract infection. When your bladder gets infected and you have a strong urge to pee, then you may not always make it to the bathroom in time.
