Incontinence can be a symptom of a disease. Incontinence can also be a symptom of an unhealthy lifestyle, such as excessive fluid intake, that does not fit toilet times that there is a long distance to the toilet, so you have to stay too long long time, etc. Finally, incontinence can be a symptom of general weakness - that you do not have the ability or remember to get to the toilet.
