UUI and Urinary Frequency
Urge Urinary Incontinence (UUI) is described as a sudden and often frequent, urgent sensation to have to use the bathroom. This may result in leakage suddenly and/or on the way to the restroom. One major reason this is happening is because the pelvic floor muscles may not be quite strong enough and not coordinating quickly enough, thus leading to urgency, frequency, and leakage.
