Failure to store urine or leakage of urine is most common in geriatric patients but can affect all ages. In addition, patients with urinary incontinence are more likely to have faecal incontinence, termed double incontinence. Difficulty with urination control results in higher rates of depression and limited activity levels. Therefore, incontinence can have a profound impact on quality of life.

In addition, the long-term pain may also cause related psychiatric symptoms including anxiety and depression, which are recognised as chronic pain syndrome.
