Stress urinary incontinence - female

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the unintentional leakage of urine during activities like coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, or lifting. It often occurs due to weakened pelvic floor muscles or a less effective urethral sphincter, common after childbirth, with aging, or due to other factors. Management typically involves lifestyle changes, pelvic floor exercises, and various medical options, offering significant improvement and restored confidence.
