Do women leak pee when the bladder is infected?

Dr. Simon Kimm answered

Specializes in Urology

It's possible.: A bladder infection can be highly irritating to the bladder, and this can cause the muscle to contract inappropriately. These bladder spasms can sometimes overcome the continence mechanism of the urethral sphincter, resulting in incontinence. See you physician if you have a bladder infection or new onset of urinary incontinence.
