So why and when does SUI occur?

SUI is when urine leaks out with sudden pressure on the bladder and urethra, causing the sphincter muscles to open briefly. This can happen during sports involving running, jumping or weightlifting. Laughing, sneezing or coughing can also put pressure on the affected area causing urine to leak. If the condition is more severe, less forceful activities could also cause leakage, including standing up, walking or bending over.
