It is worth seeking guidance when stress urinary incontinence appears, since it affects daily life and there are ways to evaluate and manage it. It is the involuntary loss of urine with physical effort such as coughing, laughing, sneezing, or lifting weight.
Associated factors: Previous pregnancies and childbirths, hormonal changes, excess weight, and weakening of the pelvic floor muscles are usually related to its appearance.
When should you consult? If the leaks are frequent or limit daily activities, it is worth discussing with a professional.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist and the gynecologist carry out the corresponding evaluation. Talking about the topic with a specialist, even if it feels uncomfortable, opens the door to better management.
