Finding Balance: Understanding and Managing Mixed Urinary Incontinence
Mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) is a condition that combines the symptoms of both stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and urge urinary incontinence (UUI). This means that individuals with MUI experience involuntary leakage of urine both during physical activities that increase pressure on the bladder (such as coughing, sneezing, or exercising) and following a sudden, strong urge to urinate. In this guide, we'll explore mixed urinary incontinence, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and the role of physical therapy in managing this condition effectively.
