In this week's episode, we look at the prevalence, pathophysiology, and progress towards a solution to urinary incontinence. We review what urinary incontinence is, look at the different types of incontinence, and explore what happens in the body that makes it tough to prevent leakage. Then we finish by looking at treatment options for those who suffer with the condition.
