The pelvic floor muscles are a group of muscles at the bottom of the abdominal cavity. The muscles look like a cup-shaped hammock in the pelvic cavity. If the ‘plate’ in the pelvic floor is damaged, there is less muscular support for the urethra, so when you are exerting yourself, such as doing sport or simply coughing, there is a risk of a small leak.
The causes for stress incontinence include lifestyle choices, medical complications, pregnancy and obesity. Weight loss and exercise are often successful treatments.
Men can also be affected by stress urinary incontinence, but it is very rare and usually connected to post-surgery complications after the prostate has been removed. Men are more often affected by other types of incontinence problems.
