10 Symptoms of Perimenopause
Symptom #10: Urine Leakage or Urgency
In the perimenopause phase, women may experience more urinary symptoms. The urethra Is the transport tube that helps the excretion of urine from the bladder to the outside. During this phase, the urethral lining can become thinner and less elastic as there is a decrease in estrogen levels.
These changes can cause a higher likelihood of urinary tract infections which leads to increase frequency, increased urgency, discomfort during urination, leakage when coughing, sneezing, or laughing.
