Overactive Bladder Symptoms
6. Stress Incontinence
Stress incontinence, or stress urinary incontinence or effort incontinence, is a special type of urinary incontinence due to the inability of the urinary bladder to close its sphincter. The condition is associated with coughing, laughing, sneezing, and doing physical activities.
All these acts lead to an increase in the intra-abdominal pressure, which subsequently increases the pressure on the urinary bladder, leading to incontinence.
