Millions of women experience involuntary loss of urine, which is called urinary incontinence. For some, urinary incontinence can be slightly bothersome, but for others it can be totally debilitating.

Urinary Incontinence in Women is a new fact sheet that provides an overview of the types, diagnosis, and treatment of urinary incontinence in women. The fact sheet is part of the Bladder Control for Women Campaign, a public health awareness campaign conducted by the National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse, supported by NIDDK.
