Overflow Incontinence happens when the bladder does not empty completely. Urine builds up and in the end may overflow, often as a frequent, dribbling leakage. You may have difficulty starting to pass urine and the stream may be slower than before.
How It Occurs These symptoms usually occur in men with an enlarged prostate gland or with severe constipation.
What Needs To Be Done This type of leakage can also occur with other disorders and the cause of the problem does need to be identified. Your Doctor or your Continence Advisor will be able to advise you.
Advice There are many products available that can help you manage bladder problems. For independent advice and information browse through our "Useful Links" where you will find access to a range of free and helpful publications from a variety of organisations.
Visit Your GP Do not try to diagnose any health related problem yourself, make an appointment with your Doctor if you are concerned about any symptoms that you have.
