Skin may be damaged by constant contact with urine. Skin bacteria can break down the urea in urine to form ammonia. Sometimes incontinence is complicated by thrush infection of the genital area. This is more likely in people with diabetes.

Prolapse is a complication that can occur in women. It happens when part of your vagina; bladder and maybe your urethra drop down into the entrance of your vagina. Weak pelvic floor muscles can contribute to this. Prolapse usually needs to be repaired with surgery.
