Stress Urinary Incontinence

Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) is the involuntary leakage of urine that occurs when intra-abdominal pressure rises — during coughing, sneezing, laughing, lifting, jogging or exercise — without any preceding urge to void. It is caused by weakening of the pelvic floor muscles, urethral sphincter and supporting fascia, most commonly after vaginal childbirth, menopause, ageing, obesity or chronic straining. SUI affects nearly 1 in 3 women over 40 and is highly treatable. At Healic, senior female uro-gynaecologists follow a stepwise, evidence-based plan — clinical evaluation with cough stress test, urinalysis, post-void residual and urodynamics where indicated, followed by supervised pelvic floor (Kegel) physiotherapy, weight and lifestyle optimisation, vaginal CO₂/Er:YAG laser therapy, and minimally invasive mid-urethral sling surgery (TVT/TOT) for moderate-to-severe cases — restoring continence, confidence and a leak-free, active lifestyle.

Patients commonly visit for urine leak on coughing or sneezing, leakage while laughing or lifting weights, drops of urine during exercise or jogging. Our cosmetic gynaecology team checks causes such as vaginal childbirth, multiple deliveries or prolonged labour, menopause and oestrogen deficiency causing urethral thinning, obesity and chronically raised intra-abdominal pressure and explains suitable options including mild sui (drops with cough), moderate sui (leakage with activity), severe sui (leakage on standing), mixed urinary incontinence with transparent pricing and follow-up support.
