What is Urinary Incontinence?
Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) is the leakage of urine during activities that increase abdominal pressure such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or other physical activities. Much more goes into answering the question “what is urinary incontinence” than this basic answer since every case is different.
