Loss of bladder control
Loss of bladder control is a symptom in which a person no longer has control of his starting or stopping of urination. The urine (pee) comes out of his bladder and needs to be collected by a diaper or some tubing + bag. Loss of bladder control can be caused by brain problems, nerve problems, injuries, etc...
