[Urinary incontinence in the elderly].
Urinary incontinence affects approximately three million women in France. Its frequency increases with age. It impacts quality of life. Interrogation and clinical examination usually allow understanding its mechanism, but some additional explorations may be necessary. When a curative treatment is not possible, absorbent pads or a penile sheath in males improve patient comfort.
