This is actually a common issue for women more than men and can cause leaky bladders and overwhelming urges to urinate or false alarms.

Stress Urinary Incontinence generally occurs when your pelvic muscles are no longer strong enough to keep the opening from the bladder neck closed when you are under physical stress.
