A member asked:

Peeing when laughing i pee myself wen i laugh and i don't understand why. i'm a 18 year old and i've gone in to the doctors and they told me nothing?

Normal Phenomenon: Your situation is why the expression "i laughed so hard i peed my pants" exist. When you laugh you increase the pressure in your abdomen. This pressure can overcome the ability of the urethral sphincter to hold in urine. Kegel exercises may help alleviate this issue.
