What is Stress Incontinence?

Stress incontinence is a type of urinary urge incontinence where a person will accidentally leak some urine while participating in certain activities that put pressure on the bladder. The amount of urine leaked can range from only a few drops to enough urine to soak through a person’s clothes. Urinary stress incontinence most often occurs when a person is conducting some type of physical activity that causes them to uncontrollably leak urine.
