Overfilling bladder incontinence:
Usually, it is treated when the subcystic obstruction is treated. The usual causes of sybcystic obstruction are prostatic hypertrophy and urethral stricture. However, in cases where the chronic obstruction and distension of the bladder has led to myogenic damage, then it will not be able to function even if the obstruction is removed. In this case, the solution will be intermittent self-catheterization.
