Is Stress Causing My Urinary Incontinence?



You’ve probably heard of stress incontinence before—it’s a type of incontinence that occurs when urine leaks involuntarily as a result of stress put on your bladder (like sneezing, coughing or lifting something heavy).

But can psychological stress also be a factor?


Recent studies have found that stress can be both a cause and effect of urinary incontinence.

The idea that psychological stress can cause urinary incontinence requires a little more explanation though.
