Dr. Betsy Greenleaf answered

Specializes in Gynecology

See a urologist: Recommend seeing a urologist for further work up. There are many different conditions that can cause urinary incontinence. However you would be severely ill if you had an intestinal tear or bladder tear. If you are experience any symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting lightheadedness, fever, fainting......go to ER
