Description

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the unintentional loss is urine that occurs during a stress event, such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise. It is caused by the weakening of the pelvic floor muscles or urethral sphincter. It is more commonly seen in women, with up to 33% of women experiencing the condition at least once in their lifetime, while less than 3% of men experience SUI1. Risk factors for women include obesity, smoking, and past pregnancy, while SUI in men mainly develops due to iatrogenic causes such as radical prostatectomy.
