Why is urine lost under strain? lost?
When you cough, laugh or jump, the pressure in the abdomen rises sharply for a moment. A strong pelvic floor counters this and reliably closes the urethra. If the muscles are weakened, for example after pregnancies, during menopause or after prostate surgery in men, involuntary urine loss can occur. The good news: the pelvic floor is trainable.
Two different patterns
- Loss when coughing, sneezing, doing sport, lifting
- No strong urge beforehand
- Focus on pelvic floor strength
- Sudden, barely controllable urge
- Loss on the way to the toilet
