Nope, normal and not a problem. Urine is
toxic....your not supposed to hold it:
that's really bad for you, so if you have
to go, just go!
I believe that since you don't have any
issues during the night, this is a clear
indication you don't have a problem.....

Urinary Incontinence
Urinary Incontinence is very common. But,
some people are too embarrassed to get
help.
Prevalence of urinary incontinence among
women in the United States between 15 and
64 years of age ranges from 10 to 30
percent. The good news is that millions of
patients are being successfully treated
and cured. Many women with urinary
incontinence withdraw from social life and
try to hide the problem from their
families, friends and even from their
doctors.
It is important to tell your health care
provider (such as a doctor or nurse) about
the problem. You may even want to bring
this booklet with you to help you talk
about your incontinence.
Urinary incontinence is not a natural part
of aging. It can happen at any age, and
can be caused by many physical conditions.
Many causes of incontinence are temporary
and can be managed with simple treatment.
Some causes of temporary incontinence
are:
* Urinary tract infection
* Vaginal infection or irritation
* Constipation
* Effects of medicine
Incontinence can be caused by other
conditions that are not temporary. Other
causes of incontinence are:
* Weakness of muscles that hold the
bladder in place
* Weakness of the bladder itself
* Weakness of the urethral sphincter
muscles
* Overactive bladder muscles
* Blocked urethra
* Hormone imbalance in women
* Neurologic disorders
* Immobility (not being able to move
around)
In almost every case, these conditions can
be treated. Your health care provider will
help to find the exact cause of your
incontinence.
Types of Incontinence
There are also many different types of
incontinence. Some people have more than
one type of incontinence. You should be
able to identify the type of incontinence
by comparing it to the list below.
1. Urge incontinence
People with urge incontinence lose urine
as soon as they feel a strong need to go
to the bathroom.
If you have urge incontinence you may leak
urine:
* When you can't get to the bathroom
quickly enough
* When you drink even a small amount
of liquid, or when you hear or touch
running water
* You may go to the bathroom very
often; for example, every two hours during
the day and night
* You may even wet the bed
2. Stress incontinence
People with stress incontinence lose urine
when they exercise or move in a certain
way. If you have stress incontinence, you
may leak urine:
* When you sneeze, cough, or laugh
* When you get up from a chair or out
of bed
* When you walk or do other exercise
* You may also go to the bathroom
often during the day to avoid accidents.
3. Overflow incontinence
People with overflow incontinence may feel
that they never completely empty their
bladder. If you have overflow
incontinence, you may:
* Often lose small amounts of urine
during the day and night
* Get up often during the night to go
to the bathroom
* Often feel as if you have to empty
your bladder but can't
* Pass only a small amount of urine
but feel as if your bladder is still
partly full
* Spend a long time at the toilet, but
produce only a weak, dribbling stream of
urine
Some people with overflow incontinence do
not have the feeling of fullness, but they
lose urine day and night.
