About Incontinence - Types of Incontinence - Mixed (Combination of SUI and Urge)
Medical Reviewer: Beth Shelly PT, DPT, BCIA-PMDB
In some cases incontinence can be a combination of both stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and urge incontinence. It is important to realize that if you have mixed incontinence, but only treat one of the two types, you will still have incontinence: both types of incontinence must be treated to see desirable results. If you are diagnosed with either SUI or urge incontinence, make sure that your doctor has ruled out the other type and that you do not, in fact, have mixed incontinence. For more information about mixed incontinence, please read about both stress incontinence and urge incontinence.
