Nearly every woman faces it at some point: unintentional urine leakage from a weakened bladder. But what triggers this common issue?
Urinary incontinence happens when pelvic floor muscles weaken, leading to leaks during laughing, sneezing, coughing, or exercise—or difficulty holding urine. It's frustrating and often embarrassing. Key causes include genetics, overexertion, or excess weight. Many women notice it post-pregnancy or during menopause, when shrinking ovaries cause pelvic muscles to slacken, the uterus drops lower, and added pressure on the bladder results in leakage.
