Depends.: If you leak most often with activities like coughing, laughing or sneezing then you probably have stress incontinence. Leaking with a strong urge on the way to the restroom usually indicates bladder spasms or urge incontinence. Their are other causes of leaking urine. Your doctor can determine the underlying cause and best treatment. You can start the evaluation with your gyn.

Treatable condition: Two common reasons for urine leakage in women. Urge incontinence occurs when the bladder spasms pushing urine out. Medications help. Stress incontinence occurs after childbirth where the urethra support is stretched so it sags and urine leakage occurs with coughing, laughing, and exercise. Kegels may help. If not, then a sling works well: takes 10 minutes, outpatient, &recovery in few days.
