Urine Incontinence | Highst Urology Clinic Gangnam Seoul

At Highst Urology, we understand how urinary incontinence can affect daily comfort, confidence, sleep quality, and overall quality of life. Our experienced urologists provide accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans to help patients manage symptoms safely and effectively.



Urinary Incontinence, commonly known as involuntary urine leakage, is a common condition that can affect both men and women. With the right evaluation and treatment, many patients can improve bladder control and regain confidence in daily life.

What is Urinary Incontinence?

Urinary Incontinence is a condition in which urine leaks unintentionally due to problems with bladder control, pelvic floor strength, nerve signals, or urinary tract function.

It may occur when coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, or feeling a sudden urge to urinate. Although it is common, urinary incontinence is not something patients need to simply tolerate. Proper diagnosis can help identify the cause and guide effective treatment.

Symptoms of Urinary Incontinence

The most common symptoms of urinary incontinence include:

• Urine Leakage During Coughing or Sneezing
Leakage that occurs when pressure is placed on the bladder.

• Sudden Urge to Urinate
A strong and unexpected need to urinate that may be difficult to control.

• Frequent Urination
Needing to urinate more often throughout the day.

• Nocturia (Nighttime Urination)
Waking up during sleep to urinate.

• Leakage Before Reaching the Bathroom
Urine leakage that occurs before getting to the restroom.

• Mixed Incontinence Symptoms
A combination of stress-related leakage and urgency-related leakage.

If you are experiencing these symptoms, a professional urological evaluation is recommended to determine the type and severity of incontinence.

Causes of Urinary Incontinence

Several factors may contribute to urinary incontinence.

• Pelvic Floor Weakness
Weak pelvic floor muscles may reduce bladder support and lead to leakage.

• Aging
Changes in bladder function and muscle strength may affect urinary control.

• Pregnancy and Childbirth
Pelvic floor strain from pregnancy or delivery may increase the risk of urine leakage.

• Hormonal Changes
Hormonal changes, especially after menopause, may affect urinary tract health.

• Prostate Conditions
In men, prostate enlargement or prostate surgery may contribute to incontinence.

• Lifestyle Factors
Obesity, chronic coughing, constipation, caffeine intake, and certain habits may worsen symptoms.

Diagnostic Evaluation for Urinary Incontinence

At Highst Urology, accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment planning.

Diagnostic Tests May Include:

• Urinalysis
• Urine culture
• Bladder ultrasound
• Residual urine measurement
• Urine flow analysis
• Bladder diary evaluation
• Urodynamic testing, if necessary

Our specialists carefully evaluate symptoms, bladder function, leakage patterns, and overall health condition to create a personalized treatment strategy.
