It can happen during physical exertion like laughing, coughing, sneezing, exercising, heavy lifting, running jumping, etc., This is not related to psychological stress.
Stress incontinence is very common in women than men. people with severe and moderate stress incontinence may leak urine even for a less forceful activities like standing up, bending over. In some cases, urine may even soak through the inner garments.
Stress incontinence is different from overactive bladder (OAB) or urgency urinary incontinence (UUI). In UUI disorder, people tend to have urgency to urinate at once the bladder is full. The bladder muscle contracts that causes a sudden urge to urinate before you can reach the bathroom. People with OAB may even leak urine when they have the urge to urinate.

About 1 in 2 women aged 65 and above find themselves leaking urine. This is also be seen in a few men who have undergone surgery for prostate cancer and pelvic nerve injury.

One of the main reasons for stress continence is pregnancy and vaginal child birth. During delivery, pelvic floor muscle may weaken in most of the women and thus makes the urethra tube to lose its hold. Due to this, stress incontinence soon begins after the delivery of child. In some cases, it may occur after few years of delivery. But there are other factors that also contributes in stress incontinence. They are as follows
- Post pregnancy
- Obese in women also makes urethra tube to weaken
- Chronic coughing
- Smoking and thus leads to severe coughing
