Urinary incontinence, also known as "leaky bladder," is characterized by an inability to control urination. According to merck.com, urinary incontinence is more common in women and the elderly. When it occurs due to a temporary situation that can be corrected, it is called transient urinary incontinence.
Drugs
The effects of some drugs on the bladder may lead to transient urinary incontinence. According to merck.com, some of these drugs include alcohol, caffeine, alpha antagonists, alpha agonists, coding anticholinergics, calcium channel blockers, opioids, psychoactive drugs and hormone therapy drugs.
Urogenital Infections
Some infections of the urogenital system, such as urinary tract infections, vaginitis and urethritis, can cause such an urgent need to urinate that you don't have enough time to reach the bathroom.
Systemic Disorders
Systemic disorders, such as diabetes, can cause overproduction of urine, which makes it hard to control urine.
Neuropsychiatric Disorders
Neuropsychiatric disorders, such as depression and psychosis, may impair your ability to urinate or your awareness about the need to urinate.
Gastrointestinal Disorders
Some gastrointestinal disorders may cause fecal impaction, which is the accumulation of dry stool due to chronic constipation. This can lead to both fecal and urinary incontinence.
