There are many ‘silent sufferers’ who are too embarrassed to seek medical help about some of the pelvic floor disorders, yet the conditions can be prevented and treated effectively allowing them to live a quality normal life. One such condition is stress urine incontinence.
Stress urine incontinence (SUI) is the involuntary leakage of urine caused by an increase in pressure exerted on the bladder. The bladder is pushed downwards as a result of normal increase in abdominal pressure, as may occur when we laugh, cough, sneeze, or exercise.
