Stress Urinary Incontinence Treatment

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the involuntary leakage of urine during activities that put pressure on the bladder, like sneezing or exercising. Treatment options include pelvic floor exercises (like Kegels) to strengthen muscles, lifestyle changes (such as weight loss), medications to manage symptoms, and devices like pessaries. In more severe cases, minimally invasive procedures or surgery may be recommended to support the bladder. Each treatment option aims to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life, and choices should be discussed with a healthcare provider to find the best fit for individual needs.
