Urinary incontinence generally requires comprehensive examinations, including the following:

First, a routine urinary system examination to determine the presence of inflammation and whether it is a case of urgent urinary incontinence.

Other urinary system examinations such as ultrasound can clarify whether the urinary incontinence is genuine or pseudo. A residual urine test might be conducted. For example, if a significant amount of residual urine is found after urination during an ultrasound, it may be considered pseudo urinary incontinence.

Additional examinations can include urodynamics studies, which can reflect the function of the bladder detrusor muscle and the urethral sphincter. If stress urinary incontinence is confirmed, surgical treatment may be considered based on the severity of the symptoms.

Stress urinary incontinence generally refers to middle-aged and older women who have had multiple natural childbirths, leading to relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles after childbirth causing relaxation of the muscles around the urethra. This can lead to urine leakage during sudden laughter, coughing, vigorous activities, or even loud speaking. In such cases, stress urinary incontinence should be considered. It is recommended to seek further diagnosis and treatment from the urology department at a local hospital.
