d. frequency.

Expert Solution
Introduction

The frequency, quantity as well as the color of the urine can serve as important tools for the diagnosis of various conditions. Urine analysis tests help determine the causes for conditions related to the kidney or the urinary system and appropriate interventions can be taken based on the diagnosis.

Involuntary urination can have varied causes which includes old age where the muscles of sphincters of bladder may weaken and cause involuntary urination. Involuntary urination is also caused due to brain or spine injury or slight problems with control of urine urgency may be in some cases observed in women who went through prolonged labor and occasionally even in post menopausal women.This condition can be managed by medicines as well as maintaining adequate hygiene practices like diapers or urinary pads.
