2. Urinary Incontinence: This usually occurs at night. After falling asleep, the patient may experience involuntary leakage of urine from the bladder, known as urinary incontinence. This condition may also occur during the day.
3. Urinary Delay: After feeling the urge to urinate, the patient needs to wait for a period of time before being able to urinate. This is referred to as urinary delay, and the urine stream is thin, with a short range of projection.
