A member asked:

I have an enlarged bladder and don't leak. but if even small and i cough, i do leak. why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Increased pressure: When you cough you increase your abdominal pressure which presses on your bladder forcing out urine. The treatment may be getting the appropriate treatment for your cough. I often hear this complaint in women with cough variant asthma.
