"I laughed so hard, I actually peed my pants"

If you think this only happens as you get older, think again! It’s no laughing matter and it’s more common than you think! This is called stress urinary incontinence. It's not normal, but it is treatable. Why does it happen? In most cases, it is caused by weak pelvic floor muscles. Although it can happen in men, it is more prevalent in women.  Up to 35% of women experience urine leakage while coughing, sneezing, laughing or exercise. It’s more common as women age or after pregnancy and childbirth. What can be done? Many women are too embarrassed to look for help. Good news!  We can help you!
