ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine. It means a person urinates when they do not want to. Control over the urinary sphincter is either lost or weakened. Urinary incontinence is a common problem that affects many people.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dysfunctional voiding refers to an inability to fully relax the bladder neck, urinary sphincter or pelvic floor during voiding. Alternatively it may be associated with dyssynergia of the external urinary sphincter, engendering an inappropriate response to a detrusor contraction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Urinary incontinence means a person leaks urine by accident. While it can happen to anyone, urinary incontinence, also known as overactive bladder, is more common in older people, especially women. Bladder control issues can be embarrassing and cause people to avoid their normal activities.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are four types of urinary incontinence: urgency, stress, functional and overflow incontinence. Behavioral therapies, medications, nerve stimulation and surgery are some of the treatments available for managing urinary incontinence.

Detailed explanation-5: -The anal sphincters and puborectalis are the primary muscles responsible for continence. There are two sphincters: the internal anal sphincter, and the external anal sphincter. The internal sphincter is responsible for 85% of the resting muscle tone and is involuntary.
