The primary cause of urge incontinence is the involuntary contraction of the bladder muscles. However, several factors can contribute to this condition:
- Neurological Disorders: Conditions like Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and stroke can disrupt normal bladder function. - Bladder Inflammation: Infections or other irritants to the bladder lining can lead to urgency. - Bladder Outlet Obstruction: Enlarged pelvic organs or tumors can obstruct the bladder outlet. - Hormonal Changes: Menopause and other hormonal shifts can weaken the pelvic floor muscles.
