This page could use some changes
- It only mentions UI in women and children - nothing about men. Most of the generic (non gender-related) information is under the "UI in women" section. No mentions of BPH (enlarged prostate) anywhere either.
- Nothing is said about general impact (toilet mapping, avoiding social exposure, associated costs, etc)
- Nothing is said about psychological consequences (isolation, shame, anxiety, depression, etc)
- The resource section has only 1 external link which could be moved to external links perhaps. Lots more resources could be added (NAFC, Continence Foundation, etc... There are lots and lots of them).
- More treatment options exist nowadays, and as far as medications, none of the most widely used ones are mentionned (detrol and ditropan), not even using generic names.
- No statistics or figures of any kind (like prevalence) are mentionned
(Unsigned edit by 24.222.204.78 (talk • contribs • block • block log)) Does anyone know how often an event must occur to be considered urinary continence. Everyone says keep a diary. But what does the doctor look for from the diary? Go to urology on google for some excellent sources that can be referenced What about the use of a urethra support sling.. what are the benefits of that.. on younger women
Incontinence in children
The section in question needlessly repeats information stated earlier in the article, and the first two sub-headings are rather awkwardly phrased. Secondly, it reads like it was copied from a website with a much younger target audience. 70.68.181.169 10:36, 16 May 2006 UTC What about the option of a urethral support sling as a remedy option for younger women

There are no sources cited in this article. I'll begin to remove unsourced material over the next couple of days, a little at a time.

Highly Sexist Content
Article contains virtually nothing about male conditions, their causes, and treatment. Should probably be renamed Incontinence (Female) -- but on the other hand, knowing the priority doctors usually give their male patients, there might never be an article about Incontinence (Male). So where's a patient to go? 68.5.64.178 08:07, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
