Loss of muscle control that will result in incontinence

There are various reasons why incontinence happens this can be due to weak bladder muscles, overactive bladder muscle, weak pelvic floor muscles, nerve damage and some diseases such as diabetes and parkinson's disease. In older person, the type of incontinence that they experience is the functional incontinence in which they usually have normal bladder control.
