  2. There are different kinds of incontinence, this sounds like what your talking about.

    Overflow Incontinence

    In overflow incontinence, the urine overflows from the bladder because the pressure inside the bladder is higher than the urethral sphincter closure pressure. In this condition, there may be no strong urge to urinate, the bladder never empties, and small amounts of urine leak continuously. Overflow incontinence is prevalent in older men with an enlarged prostate and is less common in women. Because the bladder is too full, the bladder empties even though the bladder muscle may not contract.

    Overfilling of the bladder can occur if the outlet from the bladder is obstructed so urine backs up in the bladder or if the bladder muscle does not work so urine is not completely expelled from the bladder during urination. People with overflow incontinence may feel like the bladder does not empty completely, their urine flows out slowly, and/or that urine dribbles out after voiding. Symptoms of overflow incontinence may be similar to those of mixed incontinence. A small amount of urine may be lost when intra-abdominal pressure is increased. There may be symptoms of frequency and urgency as the detrusor muscle attempts to expel urine.

    you should go see your doctor as its more common then you think, good luck.
