A member asked:
I often cough and pee on myself is it from back problems?

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.

No: Most likely, you have had a vaginal delivery or two; and this has led to a relative degree of pelvic floor relaxation. It is vitally important to keep up with kegel exercises 50 times a day to strengthen urethral muscle control. This is stress urinary incontinence, not overative bladder nor functional incontinence nor uti. It will take tricks and reminders, but keep up your urethral "workouts!".
