Stress Urinary Incontinence
What Is Stress Urinary Incontinence?
As women age, especially after childbirth, one embarrassing medical condition is stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
Laughing, sneezing, coughing, jumping, vigorous exercise and heavy lifting can all cause stress incontinence. Any pressure placed on the abdomen and bladder can lead to the loss of urine. This problem occurs in 1 out of 3 women and occurs more commonly sometime after childbirth.
At the Female Pelvic Health Center we are experts in treating urinary incontinence, with many of the treatments performed at our center in Newtown, PA.
