Stress incontinence refers to the involuntary release of urine, due to the inability to control the bladder even during minimal effort such as a rapid change in body position, coughing or sneezing. The bladder expands as it fills with urine. In normal situations muscles, ligaments and sphincters control the discharge of urine. But when these muscles weaken, during every sneeze, cough or laugh when the inter-abdominal pressure increases, urine is discharged uncontrollably. The discharge of urine can be a few drops or it can also be a whole stream. This condition is more common in women, and occurs as a result of physical changes in the body during the aging process.
