Urinary incontinence is a problem that affects many people, especially women, and can have a significant impact on their quality of life.

There are different types of urinary incontinence, but the most common is urinary incontinence. stress urinary incontinence. It occurs when stress or pressure on the bladder causes you to leak urine. This can happen when you cough, sneeze, laugh, lift something heavy or do physical activity. Causes include weakness of the pelvic floor muscles and a bladder out of its normal position. This dysfunction or weakening may be secondary to pregnancy, vaginal childbirth, overweight, ageing and menopause among others.

Symptoms

The main symptom of stress urinary incontinence is the leakage of urine when:

• Being physically active
• Coughing, sneezing or laughing
• Exercising
• Stopping when sitting or lying down

You may not leak urine every time you do any of these actions. But any activity that puts pressure on the bladder can make involuntary urine leakage more likely. Also, having a full bladder increases the likelihood of leakage.
