Stress Urinary Incontinence isn't just a natural part of aging that you're stuck accepting. Women of all ages struggle with the same thing you are. You may be wondering "Why is this happening to me?" The sooner you learn the "why," the sooner you can go back to enjoying your life worry-free.
Urinary incontinence is the loss of voluntary control over your urinary functions. Approximately 18 million women in the U.S. suffer from urinary incontinence1. That's 1 in 4 women over the age of 18.1
During menopause, reduced estrogen levels can cause the lining of the urethra to start to thin. Coupled with a weakening of the surrounding pelvic muscles – known as the pelvic floor – women at midlife and older may be at an increased risk for urinary incontinence or bladder leakage.
Yes, stress urinary incontinence can frequently be treated with women seeing their symptoms improve. It is quite common for life events like childbirth or menopause to contribute to bladder leakage, but that does not mean that bladder leakage is considered normal at any age. There are many different treatment options available for stress urinary incontinence. It is important to discuss the problem with your doctor to find out what treatment may be right for you.
If you're dealing with urinary incontinence, there are several types of doctors who can help diagnose and treat your condition – including gynecologists, urogynecologists, and urologists. Not all physicians treat urinary incontinence. Be your own advocate and ask how many others with urinary incontinence they have treated to ensure you find the best physician for your symptoms.

Approximately 18 million women in the US suffer from urinary incontinence. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the loss of voluntary control over your urinary functions. SUI generally occurs when your pelvic muscles are not strong enough to keep the opening of the bladder neck closed when there’s pressure on your bladder from laughing, coughing, lifting, exercising or other activities that cause abdominal pressure. It can slowly develop as you age and may be the result of a specific event such as childbirth, or be a result of smoking, obesity or other previous tissue traumas in the area.
