Stress Incontinence

Stress incontinence refers to the involuntary loss of urine associated with an increase in the pressure inside the abdomen (increased intra-abdominal pressure).

Leakage occurs with particular activities such as cough, sneeze, laugh, run, jump (especially star-jumps or on a trampoline), and other forms of exercise including sex!

In other words, we are unable to use our muscles correctly or sufficiently to keep the hole closed when we exert pressure from above.
