Urinary incontinence is a frequent urological burden for women.
It is subdivided in 3 etiological subcategories, each of them bearing specific symptoms, causes and treatment options. Due to its possible hybrid clinical presentation, diagnosis may seem complex, which often leads the general practitioner to refer immediately patients to the specialist. However, a simple, rigorous initial investigation procedure helps in identifying the best management options and finding the most suitable treatment in most of cases without requiring a specialized consult.
