Can't hold it!: It is leakage of urine while feeling an urgency (sensation of got-to-go!).

Got to go now: Urge incontinence occurs when you have a bladder contraction with little to no warning and are unable to control it or make it to the bathroom on time. This is in contrast to stress incontinence when you have a leak due to cough, sneeze, laugh or other strain.
