Leaking when you laugh, exert yourself or cough is not an inevitable part of age or motherhood: it can be assessed and treated.
It is a reason for consultation in its own right, as frequent as it is rarely mentioned.
Stress urinary leakage occurs during physical effort, a sneeze, a laugh or when lifting something, when abdominal pressure exceeds the resistance of the pelvic floor.
Weakening of the pelvic floor after childbirth, the menopause, excess weight or a chronic cough are the most frequent causes.
It is neither an inevitable part of ageing nor an unavoidable consequence of motherhood. An assessment in consultation makes it possible to establish its type and degree, before guiding you towards the most suitable management.
