Reflex incontinence is characterized by the loss of urine at predictable intervals when the bladder is full, due to an involuntary reflex arc. This is often seen in individuals with spinal cord injuries or neurological disorders. Overflow incontinence (A) occurs when the bladder is constantly full and leaks urine without warning, often due to obstruction or weak bladder contractions. Stress incontinence (B) is leakage of urine during physical activity or exertion, such as coughing, sneezing, or lifting. Urinary incontinence (D) is a broad term that encompasses all types of involuntary urine loss.
