Do you “Exert and Squirt”? Stress incontinence explained…

(c) Lauri Romanzi 2009

Stress urinary incontinence affects millions of women worldwide. Stress incontinence occurs when the sphincter of the urethra is weak, due to age, childbearing or trauma, and urine leaks out with physical exertion, commonly with sneezing and coughing.  This is “exert and squirt” leakage, and not associated with the sensation of urgency. Leaking with cough, sneeze, lifting, carrying, exercise and dancing are common symptoms for women with this condition.

 A minimally invasive sling may be your best option if these symptoms sound familiar. Learn more here from this Eyewitness News clip:
