What Is Stress Incontinence?
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common condition where involuntary urine leakage occurs during activities that put pressure on the bladder, such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising. It results from weakened pelvic floor muscles or a loss of urethral support.
While stress incontinence is more prevalent among women, particularly after childbirth or menopause. It also affects men, particularly after prostate surgery.
Causes and Risk Factors
Several factors contribute to stress incontinence, including:
- Pregnancy and childbirth – Weakened pelvic floor muscles from vaginal delivery.
- Aging and menopause – Reduced estrogen levels affecting bladder control.
- Obesity – Excess weight putting pressure on the bladder.
- Previous pelvic surgery – Procedures such as prostate surgery in men or hysterectomy in women.
