Bladder frequency/urgencyStress Incontinence: the involuntary release of urine. This typically happens with activities like coughing, sneezing, or running. It is more common in women than in men, but is not simply something to accept as part of aging or just because you had a baby. Physical therapy offers treatments which can help regain control of the pelvic floor and urinary continence.
