this can be cause by neurologic or non-neurologic disorders, trauma to the spinal cord, tumor of the nervous systrem, nerve degeneration, hormone-responsive, stress, sudden urge, extopic ureters, bladder overdistention urinary incontinence
this occurs because of urine overflow incontinence
treatment of this is aimed at increasing the ability to urinate incontinence
