Overflow incontinence occurs when the bladder is never fully emptied and small amounts of urine leak out. This can be caused by spinal cord injuries or medications that block nerve signals to the bladder. Urinary retention refers to the inability to fully empty the bladder, stress incontinence is leakage that occurs with physical activity or pressure on the bladder, urge incontinence is the sudden and intense need to urinate frequently, and functional incontinence occurs when there are physical or cognitive barriers to getting to the toilet on time.
