Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a condition where physical activities like coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise cause involuntary urine leakage.

It is often due to weakened pelvic floor muscles or a weakened urethral sphincter. SUI is more common in women, particularly after childbirth, due to the strain on pelvic muscles during pregnancy and delivery. Treatment options include pelvic floor exercises, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, surgical interventions. Addressing SUI is important for improving quality of life and reducing the emotional and social impact of the condition.
