What is stress incontinence?

Reduced resistance is linked to the stress incontinence symptom, which is incontinence with coughing or sneezing.

• Urge incontinence is defined as the inability to contain pee when the urge arises.
• The contracting bladder and the external sphincter work together, but the detrusor is too weak to empty the bladder, resulting in urine retention with overflow or stress incontinence.
• Functional incontinence is comparable to overflow but does not involve coughing.

The treatment for stress incontinence depends on the underlying cause of your condition.

Behavioural treatment

You may modify your lifestyle and way of living to reduce stress incontinence episodes.

• Your doctor may urge you to reduce weight if you are obese.

• Avoiding behaviours that induce leaks, such as leaping or jogging, is another option.

Nicotine can cause bladder irritation and lead to incontinence.

• If you smoke, you should stop.
• Cigarette smokers' continuous coughing adds to the problem. Caffeine and alcohol should also be avoided since they are bladder irritants.
