Bladder Control Information

Incontinence is the medical term for the inability to control urination. Urine is produced by the kidneys and stored in the bladder. The sphincter muscles near the bladder outlet prevent urine from leaking out until the brain indicates that it is time to urinate. When control of this process is lost, the resulting condition is called urinary incontinence. Over 14,000,000 Americans are incontinent.
