FAQs & Answers
- Why does urine leak when I push or cough? Pushing or coughing increases abdominal pressure, which puts pressure on the bladder and can cause urine to leak if bladder control muscles are weak.
- How can pelvic floor exercises help with urine leakage? Pelvic floor exercises strengthen the muscles that control the bladder, reducing accidental urine leakage during activities that increase abdominal pressure.
- When should I see a doctor about urine leakage? If urine leakage happens frequently, is accompanied by pain, or sudden urges to urinate, consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.
