Living with urinary incontinence

Mixed urinary incontinence means having both stress incontinence (leaking when you cough or exercise) and urge incontinence (sudden, strong urges to pee). This can make treatment more complicated. 

The drug treatments for mixed incontinence can be a combination of medications used for stress incontinence (which differ between men and women), and urge incontinence, because mixed incontinence means both types of symptoms happen.
