Urinary incontinence, also known as involuntary urination, is any uncontrolled leakage of urine. It is a common and distressing problem which may significantly affect quality of life, and it has been identified as an important issue in geriatric health care since it is common in older women. The term enuresis is often used to refer to urinary incontinence primarily in children, such as nocturnal enuresis.
