What Causes Urinary Incontinence?

I have a problem urinating about 2 times a day once in the evening and once upon waking in the morning. I can empty my bladder but it takes a longer time and I have to push it out. I don t feel like I have to urinate all of the time but I do have an urgency when approaching the bathroom and lots of times I begin to urinate on the way. It is just a little bit, but I am afraid that it will get to be more. I have a problem holding it. I urinate frequently just about every night.

Hii ,
Welcome To HCM & Thanks For Asking Your Query Here

there are variety of medical conditions which may leads to urinary incontinence including an UTI , renal or bladder Stone , urethral strictures and many others and If you are having other symptom like burning while urination , frequent urination with incontinence than Most Probably you might have Urinary Tract Infection
as you did not mention your sex and age but if you are a elderly male than this can also be caused by Prostate gland enlargement (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)

This urgency problem can Also be caused by some other medical conditions like over active bladder , cystitis etc But seriously it needs medical examinations as well as investigations to rule out the underlying medical conditions

So I would suggest you to consult with an Urologist , he may go for an urinalysis ( complete examination of urine ) to rule out any infection and a blood Test for Prostate which will tell you whether your prostate is enlarged or not if you are a elderly male

I would suggest you to visit your urologist

I Hope it helps
Thanks again Get well soon
