Hello,
Thanks for the concern. You have an issue of urine incontinence. There are many causes of urine incontinence like pelvic floor muscle weakness, nerve damage,etc. There are many times of urine incontinence like stress incontinence, urge incontinence,overactive bladder, functional incontinence, overflow incontinence, mixed incontinence, etc.
According to history you may have urge incontinence for that you can learn keigel exercise that strengthen the pelvic floor muscle, start anticholinergic medicine but this can be done under strict advice and consultation of urogynaecologist.
So immediately consult and start your treatment.
