Choosing Stress Incontinence Products

Choosing Stress Incontinence Products

Have you ever noticed leakage of urine during your weekly? Or maybe you have sometimes noticed leakage when laughing? It is likely that you have stress incontinence.

 

What is Stress Incontinence?

Stress incontinence is actually the most common type of incontinence. This type of incontinence occurs when pressure placed on the bladder causes leakage. People often experience leakage during laughing, coughing or exercising. In both men and women, it is often caused by a weakened pelvic floor. It is much more common in women, as women are often subject to childbirth, weak pelvic floor muscles and menopause.
