How does urine leakage occur?
Urine leakage is caused by pelvic floor muscles that support the urethra and bladder becoming loose. This is caused by stretching or tearing of the organs that help stretch and support the upper part of the urethra, causing that part of the urethra to become lower and unable to withstand the pressure in the bladder when there is increased pressure in the abdomen, such as when coughing, sneezing, and exercising. This symptom can be found in all age groups, including children, adults, and the elderly. In Thailand, the incidence is approximately 20 percent of women, from reproductive age to menopause. Urine leakage may be just a few drops or continuously, or it may spill over and stain the inner clothing.
