What is dribbling incontinence?

A steady uncontrollable loss of urine always requires medical assessment. Sometimes it may be a sign that the bladder is overfull and the leak occurs as the bladder can hold no more. The other cause of dribbling incontinence is that there is a fistula (hole) in the system; this may be termed 'true incontinence'.
