Nocturnal Enuresis - Involuntary discharge of URINE during sleep at night after expected age of completed development of urinary control.

Urinary Incontinence - Involuntary loss of URINE, such as leaking of urine. It is a symptom of various underlying pathological processes. Major types of incontinence include URINARY URGE INCONTINENCE and URINARY STRESS INCONTINENCE.

Urinary Incontinence, Stress - Involuntary discharge of URINE as a result of physical activities that increase abdominal pressure on the URINARY BLADDER without detrusor contraction or overdistended bladder. The subtypes are classified by the degree of leakage, descent and opening of the bladder neck and URETHRA without bladder contraction, and sphincter deficiency.

Urinary Incontinence, Urge - Involuntary discharge of URINE that is associated with an abrupt and strong desire to void. It is usually related to the involuntary contractions of the detrusor muscle of the bladder (detrusor hyperreflexia or detrusor instability).

Urine - Liquid by-product of excretion produced in the kidneys, temporarily stored in the bladder until discharge through the URETHRA.
