Can infections cause bladder control problems?

Jennifer Anger, M.D, M.P.H. (Assistant Professor) gives expert video advice on: What can I do if I can't make it to the bathroom in time to urinate?; What can I do if I lose control of my bladder when I sneeze, cough or laugh?; What can I do if I lose control of my bladder when I lift weights? and more...

Leakage with infection usually does go away once the infection is adequately treated. If it doesn't go away and the infection's treated, it may be overactive bladder that maybe was exacerbated by the infection.
