Abstract
Urinary continence in the normal female depends on the bladder’s capability to accomodate increasing volumes of urine and the urethra’s ability to maintain a sufficient resistance to overcome intravesical pressure. Urinary incontinence, therefore, occurs when the sphincter mechanisms of the urethra are incapable of generating enough resistance to hold urine; or the bladder is unable to accept increasing quantities of urine without a significant rise in the intravesical pressure.
