Question

My husband goes to urinate very often and the doctor has said he has incontinence. What kind of incontinence does he have?

Answer

Incontinence means a lack of voluntary control. Frequency means he has to urinate very often. It sounds like your husband has frequency and your doctor doesn't know the difference. You can go to google.com and search "urinary frequency causes" to get basic information and then you will know what questions to ask your doctor.

Answer

If he has the urge to urinate often and goes to the loo many times then he might be suffering from Urge Urine Incontinence (UUI). In this there is a  lack of co-ordination between impulses the brain gives to the bladder and what the bladder does.
