Stress Urinary Incontinence

Supporting Healthy Pelvic Floor Function and Bladder Control

Overview

Stress urinary incontinence occurs when physical activities like coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise cause urine leakage. It often reflects pelvic floor weakness, hormonal changes, or post-pregnancy/surgical changes.
