Warning Signs Of A Prolapsed Bladder

Stress Incontinence

Stress incontinence is the involuntary release of urine from the bladder, often during physical activity or even due to high-pressure situations. Individuals may leak urine during running, jumping, heavy lifting, or when sneezing and coughing. The leakage may not occur every time they engage in these movements, and may only happen when the bladder is full. Stress incontinence can result from the weakening of the pelvic floor muscles or the urinary sphincter that allows the release of urine during voiding. A prolapsed bladder can cause increased pressure on these structures, leading to the involuntary release of urine. Incontinence can cause severe embarrassment and can often lead individuals to isolate themselves from normal activities.
