It is NOT something that you have to live with. There are 2 main types of incontinence.<\/p><p>Stress urinary incontinence is the leakage of urine while coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise. It occurs when the pressure in the belly increases. It is common in women after childbirth or in those who are obese.<\/p><p>Urgency incontinence is the leak that occurs after a sudden, uncontrollable urge to urinate. Leakage typically occurs as you\u2019re running to the toilet. This is typically due to an overactive bladder.
