SUI (Stress Urinary Incontinence)

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common condition where a person unintentionally leaks urine during activities that put pressure on the bladder, such as laughing, sneezing, coughing, or exercising. It occurs when the pelvic floor muscles and sphincters weaken, often due to factors like pregnancy, childbirth, aging, or obesity. SUI is more prevalent in women but can affect men as well. While it can be embarrassing and affect daily life, there are various treatments available, including lifestyle changes, pelvic floor exercises, medications, and surgical options, to help manage and improve symptoms.
