Clinical Definition: Urinary Incontinence
Since there are numerous definitions of Urinary Incontinence, it was agreed that the International Continence Society definition be adopted by the Conference.

Urinary Incontinence "is a condition in which involuntary urine loss is a social or hygienic problem and is objectively demonstrable". However, the "objectively demonstrable" criteria may require modification in large-scale epidemiological work.
