Question 10

i often cough and pee on myself is it from back problems?

Accepted Answer

SUI: Stress urinary incontinence (sui) happens when your sphincter, which acts like a valve to the bladder, can't stay closed when there’s pressure in your abdomen.  As a result, the sphincter opens slightly and allows a small amount of urine to leak out.  With back problems, if your nerve is being pinched that innervates your bladder, similar symptoms may occur.  See a urologist for treatment.
