Found mainly in women, this is a condition in which there is involuntary emission of urine when pressure within the abdomen increases suddenly. For example, pressure created from laughing, sneezing, coughing, jumping, vigorous exercise, or heavy lifting. Consequently, it is a serious and embarrassing disorder, which can lead to social isolation.
