Loss of urine means passing of urine
Urinary incontinence is not a disease, but a condition that is secondary to various other conditions or diseases.
The sentence is saying that the patient with this condition may experience the actual passing of urine, or simply the urge to urinate although the baldder may not be full.

It means you may actually urinate or have an accident on yourself
or just feel a real urge to go and then, when you actually "go", there isn't a lot of liquid in comparison with your urge.
sometimes that can mean there is some kind of infection of the urinary tract, kidney or bladder.
When you lose urine when you sneeze or cough, if your a woman, it could be caused by your uterus placing pressure on your bladder which creates the urgent feeling and because it puts so much pressure on the bladder muscles, you can loose urine.
They correct that through surgery.
Hope this helps
