I have small leakage the moment my bladder has any urine in it. When I drink a glass of water I get the urge to urinate approximately 10 minutes after drinking. What is happening to me?
Our expert answered:
Dear Ingrid,
Sounds like you have the symptoms of Urge Incontinence. This usually happens when you suddenly leak urine after feeling an urgent and immediate need to go to the bathroom. This particular form of bladder issue is caused by the bladder muscles being either underactive or overactive. There is a whole section on the Poise website dedicated to urge incontinence. Read up about it here:

In summary main causes are urinary tract infections or bladder stones. There are several ways to manager urge incontinence such as medication, surgery and pelvic floor exercises.
Best thing to do would be consult with your doctor, local nurse continence advisor or a urologist. They will be able to assess you condition and work out the best way to overcome your bladder problems.
