Unknown: Unfortunately, there is no way fully capture the number of women who experience urge urinary incontinence in the United States. The urologic diseases in america project reported 1, 845/100, 000 outpatient visits for incontinence by women in 2000. Population based studies in finland show that 16-32% of adult women have experienced urge or stress incontinence, with or without urinary tract infection.
