Urge incontinence results from increases in intra-abdominal pressure that are transmitted to the bladder that pushes the urine out?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not sure
• D. Both

Answer: (B)

Urge incontinence is caused by involuntary detrusor contractions during bladder filling, leading to a sudden urge and leakage that occurs regardless of abdominal pressure. Leakage with increases in intra-abdominal pressure is typical of stress incontinence, which results from pelvic floor weakness or urethral sphincter dysfunction. Therefore, the statement is false.
