Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is an involuntary loss of urine that occurs during physical activity, including coughing, sneezing, laughing or exercise. Studies have documented that about 50 percent of all women have occasional urinary incontinence, and as many as 10 percent have frequent incontinence. SUI now has evolved to being a highly curable disease that need not go untreated or undiagnosed.
