What is Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)?

Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) is the unintentional leakage of urine that occurs when there is increased abdominal pressure. Common triggers include coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, or lifting heavy weights.

Causes of Stress Urinary Incontinence

SUI often results from weak pelvic floor muscles, which can occur due to:

Pregnancy and childbirth
Menopause
Pelvic surgery
Obesity
Chronic cough or constipation

When pelvic muscles weaken, the bladder may shift downward, preventing the urethra from closing properly. This leads to urine leakage during activities that raise intra-abdominal pressure.

Symptoms of Stress Urinary Incontinence

The hallmark symptom of SUI is urine leakage during physical activities such as:

Laughing
Sneezing
Coughing
Weight lifting or exercise

The severity and frequency of leakage may vary among women.

Treatment Options for SUI
