Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI): Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) is a common condition where urine leaks involuntarily during activities that put pressure on the bladder, such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising. It affects both men and women but is more common in women after childbirth or menopause.
- Weak Pelvic Floor Muscles – Due to pregnancy, childbirth, or aging.
- Menopause & Hormonal Changes – Estrogen decline affects bladder control.
- Obesity – Extra weight increases pressure on the bladder.
- Chronic Coughing (Smoking, Asthma) – Frequent pressure weakens bladder muscles.
- Previous Pelvic Surgery – Can affect bladder control.
- Urine leakage when coughing, sneezing, laughing, or lifting heavy objects.
- Sudden small urine leaks during physical activities.
- Worsening symptoms over time, especially after childbirth or menopause.
1. Lifestyle Changes & Home Remedies
- Weight Loss – Reduces pressure on the bladder.
- Bladder Training – Scheduling bathroom trips to control urination.
- Limiting Caffeine & Alcohol – Reduces bladder irritation.
2. Pelvic Floor Exercises (Kegels)
How to do Kegels?
- Tighten the muscles used to stop urine flow.
- Hold for 5-10 seconds, then relax.
- Repeat 10-15 times, 3 times a day. Strengthens bladder support and reduces urine leaks.
- If urine leakage affects daily activities or confidence.
- If Kegel exercises don’t improve symptoms.
- If urinary issues come with pain, burning, or frequent infections.
