About the symptom

It is the unintentional passing of urine due to loss of bladder control.

When to see a doctor

Seek professional care if you experience any of the following symptoms

  • Leak urine

Possible causes

  • Diabetes mellitus (DM)

    A disease where blood sugar levels are abnormally high due to issues with insulin production or resistance. Often, there are no symptoms until the condition worsens, so regular screening is important.

  • Overactive bladder

    This group of urinary symptoms causes patients to need to urinate frequently or experience sudden urges to urinate that are hard to control, due to excessive bladder contractions.

  • Alzheimer dementia (AD)

    Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia. The brain shrinks, affecting memory and behavior. Symptoms worsen over time and can interfere with daily life. Increasing age raises the risk for Alzheimer dementia.

  • Pollakiuria
  • Atrophic vaginitis
  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
  • Psychogenic polydipsia
  • Neurogenic bladder
  • Cystitis

Related serious diseases

  • Cerebral infarction

    Cerebral infarction refers to damage to brain tissue resulting from a stroke. It occurs due to decreased blood supply and oxygen delivery to the brain, causing brain cell death and brain damage. It is typically caused by a blood clot or fatty/cholesterol plaques blocking a blood vessel to the brain, but can also occur if a blood vessel ruptures and bleeds into the brain.
