Bladder control is a skill most people learn in childhood, so if control is lost in adult life the impact can be very significant, particularly on the quality of life of the person affected. There are many causes of loss of bladder control, ranging from neurological conditions to menopause, as well as certain medications. This article discusses urinary urgency and urge incontinence, examines its causes and diagnosis, and provides an overview of the nursing interventions available to treat the problem.
