Urinary incontinence ? the loss of bladder control ? is a common and often embarrassing problem. The severity ranges from occasionally leaking urine when you cough or sneeze to having an urge to urinate that's so sudden and strong you don't get to a toilet in time. Temporary urinary incontinence Certain drinks, foods and medications may act as diuretics ? stimulating your bladder and increasing your volume of urine. They include: Alcohol Caffeine Carbonated drinks and sparkling water Artificial sweeteners Chocolate Chili peppers Foods that are high in spice, sugar or acid, especially citrus fruits Heart and blood pressure medications, sedatives, and muscle relaxants Large doses of vitamin C Prostate cancer. In men, stress incontinence or urge incontinence can be associated with untreated prostate cancer. But more often, incontinence is a side effect of treatments for prostate cancer. Obstruction. A tumor anywhere along your urinary tract can block the normal flow of urine, leading to overflow incontinence. Urinary stones ? hard, stonelike masses that form in the bladder ? sometimes cause urine leakage. Neurological disorders. Multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, a stroke, a brain tumor or a spinal injury can interfere with nerve signals involved in bladder control, causing urinary incontinence.
