Stress Urinary Incontinence

What is Stress Urinary Incontinence?

Stress urinary incontinence is when you lose control of your bladder during activities like coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, or lifting heavy objects, putting stress on the bladder.

Treatment Options:

• Stress incontinence can often be managed with lifestyle changes, exercises, weight loss, or using devices placed in the vagina to support the bladder.

When Conservative Treatments Fail:

• If these conservative treatments don’t work, surgery might be considered, especially for women bothered by stress incontinence.

Stress urinary incontinence is the loss of bladder control during certain activities. While lifestyle changes and non-surgical treatments are often effective, surgery may be an option for those not finding relief through other methods.
