Abstract: Stress urinary incontinence is one among the commonest problem faced by the women. Although it is not life threatening, it is a very debilitating condition which affects the quality of life of millions of women worldwide. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) have become more common than we think, many women are secretly dealing with it as they think it's normal, part of having children or going into menopause. Pelvic floor muscle weakness is a common cause of these symptoms. Changes to the nerves controlling the bladder, bowel or pelvic floor can also result in loss of control. Bladder control problems can be embarrassing, but understanding what causes incontinence can improve the chances of getting it under control. Urinary incontinence occurs when the muscles in the bladder that control the flow of urine contract or relax involuntarily. This results in either leaking or uncontrolled urination. While there are many different types of urinary incontinence, the most common include stress incontinence and urge incontinence. "The complaint of involuntary leakage of urine on effort, exertion, sneezing, or coughing" is how the International Continence Society describes stress urinary incontinence (SUI). SUI may impair women's social and personal interactions, physical activity, and other aspects of their lives, even though it is not a life-threatening condition. One of the most prevalent conditions in the world, mostly affecting women, is urine incontinence. Little leaks that occur often and repeatedly cause vulva pain and excoriation, which makes changing underwear frequently or wearing protective clothes all the time necessary. In extreme situations, the woman's life descends into sorrow; she feels alone in society and stays inside her home.
