Overcoming Stress Urinary Incontinence: Your Path to Comfort and Confidence

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common pelvic floor concern. Yet, many feel uncomfortable discussing it. SUI occurs when there is an involuntary loss of urine during physical exertion, such as coughing, sneezing, exercising, or lifting objects. While this issue is common, it’s not something you have to live with.

At our mobile physical therapy practice, I specialize in helping individuals regain control, confidence, and comfort. I offer personalized pelvic floor physical therapy sessions delivered right in your home.

Understanding Stress Urinary Incontinence

Why SUI Happens

SUI often develops when the pelvic floor muscles weaken or become uncoordinated. These muscles support your bladder and urethra. Factors contributing to SUI include:

• Pregnancy and childbirth: These can significantly impact pelvic floor strength.

• Hormonal changes: Fluctuations can affect muscle tone.

• Aging: As we age, muscle strength naturally declines.

• Surgery: Certain procedures can weaken pelvic support.

• Other life events: Injuries or health conditions may also play a role.

  
  

Over time, these changes make it harder for the muscles to respond to sudden pressure increases in your abdomen.

Who is Affected?

Stress urinary incontinence affects a significant portion of the population:

• Up to 35% of the general population deals with SUI.

• 41% of pregnant individuals experience SUI.

• Women with vaginal deliveries have a 2.4x higher rate of SUI compared to those with C-sections.

• 48.5% of adolescent female athletes may face this issue.

• Up to 50% of men experience SUI after prostate surgery.
