Overflow incontinence

Explanation:

Overflow incontinence is due to the leakage of small amounts of urine out of a bladder that is perpetually full. Diabetes and spinal cord injuries may trigger this kind of incontinence.

A spinal cord injury may disrupt interactions among the nerves in the spinal cord that regulates bladder and bowel function and the brain, which leads to incontinence.

This type of inconsistency results from Injury to the spinal cord at T10-L2 causing an overactive bladder.
