What causes urinary incontinence?

Urinary incontinence is not a disease in itself – it is a symptom that can be caused by a variety of factors.
The most common causes include:

• pregnancy and childbirth
• menopause
• weakening of the pelvic floor muscles
• weak connective tissue
• pelvic organ prolapse
• excess body weight
• previous surgery
• chronic cough
• intense physical activity

The earlier the cause is identified, the simpler and more effective the treatment can be.

How is urinary incontinence diagnosed?

The first step is a consultation with a gynecologist.
During the appointment, the doctor will:

• listen to your symptoms
• review your medical history
• perform a gynecological examination
• assess the condition of your pelvic floor
• recommend additional examinations if necessary

Following the consultation, an individualized treatment plan will be prepared.
