Overflow incontinence

A leakage of urine because the bladder is too full.


Incontinence characterized by small frequent voidings due to leakage of small amounts of urine spilling from an overfilled bladder, or to a bladder with pathologically decreased volume.


Overflow urinary incontinence pertains to the leakage of urine from the bladder, while overflow fecal incontinence involves the seepage of semi-liquid feces around compacted stool due to constipation. This type of urinary incontinence often arises when there’s prolonged urinary retention caused by a blockage at the bladder’s exit. The primary approach to addressing this issue involves treating the root cause.
