Hi, I have problems with slight incontinence when I am physically active. Should I visit urologist because I have been diagnosed with dropping bladder long time ago?

Hi, I also have urine leakage in some stressful situations, like when I am under pressure. It is called stress incontinence and it is most common type of incontinence. By some people it occurs during coughing, sneezing, laughing, heavy lifting or sex. The reason for urine incontinence is that pelvic floor muscles are weak and can't tighten enough to prevent leakage of fluid. Although only a little bit of urine leaks out and other people can not notice it, it is still very embarrassing. Women after having children or after the menopause are commonly seen with this disorder.
