Urinary leakage and urinary incontinence are related to a certain extent, because I do not know the specific meaning of the patient who asked the question, because if urine leaks out, if it leaks out through the urethra, we think it is the same thing as urinary incontinence. Urinary leakage itself is urinary incontinence, but it is necessary to distinguish which type of urinary incontinence is targeted for treatment. But if it doesn't leak from the urethra, it leaks from other places, such as the vagina, it's vesicovaginal fistula or ureterovaginal fistula, etc. This condition is more complicated and requires surgery to deal with it. Therefore, there is still a very, very obvious difference between urine leakage and incontinence, because I don't know what it means. I think it should be explained in these two directions. Urine leakage and incontinence are basically the same thing, that is, urge incontinence. The performance is that there is no toilet next to you when you want to urinate. You can't help it at all. Urine will flow out. We call it urge incontinence. It is urine leakage and urine leakage. Then stress incontinence is cough. Urine is flowing out, which is stress incontinence and a manifestation of leakage.
