Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is leakage that happens when pressure inside the abdomen rises — coughing, laughing, sneezing, exercising, lifting something heavy. It affects around 15% of adult women, and the statistic that matters more is the second one: only about 60% of them ever seek treatment.

That gap is the reason for this article. Women stop running, avoid trampolines with their children, plan outings around toilets and carry spare underwear — all for a condition that is common, well understood and treatable. There is nothing shameful in it, and nothing inevitable about it either.

Leaking while coughing is the classic presentation of stress urinary incontinence.

二大原因 stress urinary incontinence

1. Pelvic floor dysfunction

The pelvic floor muscles are the hammock that keeps the urethra closed when pressure rises. Anything that weakens or damages them can cause SUI:

Excess abdominal weight, which increases the load carried by the pelvic floor
Excess abdominal weight increases pelvic floor load and accelerates dysfunction.

2. Nerve or muscle damage from previous pelvic surgery

Major pelvic surgery can disrupt the continence mechanism directly. In men, radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer is the usual context — worth saying plainly, because SUI is often thought of as a women’s condition and men who develop it afterwards are frequently unprepared for it.

Major pelvic surgery such as radical prostatectomy can cause post-operative stress incontinence.

Getting the diagnosis right first

Assessment covers a full history, physical examination and appropriate tests. The important thing it establishes is which kind of incontinence you actually have, because stress incontinence and 失禁を促す are treated completely differently — and many women have both at once.

Where the picture is mixed or the symptoms do not fit neatly, a 尿流動態検査 measures how the bladder and urethra behave during filling and during a rise in pressure, which settles it. Dr. Soarawee performs urodynamic studies at Bangkok Hospital Headquarters.

Treatment, in order

1. Behavioural measures — first line

Pelvic floor exercises done correctly and consistently are the proven first-line treatment.

2. Medication — second line

3. Surgery — definitive

Surgery is considered once behavioural measures and medication have been given a fair trial, or where the leakage is severe enough that starting there makes more sense. Neither the mid-urethral sling nor urethral bulking agent injection is performed at Bangkok Hospital Headquarters — if your case reaches that point, a referral to a centre that provides them can be arranged. Everything up to that decision, including the assessment, the urodynamic study and the medical treatment, can be done here.

ストレス性尿失禁に関するよくある質問

腹圧性尿失禁の原因は何ですか?

SUIは、通常、腹圧上昇時に尿道を閉じたままにする骨盤底筋と尿道括約筋の弱化または損傷によって引き起こされます。主な原因は2つあります。(1) 骨盤底筋機能不全 — 肥満、更年期、妊娠、膣分娩時の外傷、または慢性的な咳/便秘によるもの。(2) 過去の骨盤手術による神経筋損傷 — 特に男性の前立腺全摘除術や女性の主要な婦人科手術。尿失禁メカニズムを弱める要因は、腹圧が上昇したときに尿が漏れることを許します。.

ケーゲル運動は、腹圧性尿失禁に本当に効果がありますか?

はい、ケーゲル体操はSUI(腹圧性尿失禁)の最も重要な第一線治療法です。正しく継続して(10秒間保持する収縮を3セット、1日3回)行うことで、尿道を支える骨盤底筋を強化します。軽度から中等度のSUIの患者さんの多くは、投薬や手術を必要とせずに、ケーゲル体操トレーニングのみで著しい改善や完全な尿失禁の解決を達成しています。通常、6〜12週間の継続的な練習で効果が実感できるようになります。理学療法士や骨盤底専門医が正しいテクニックを確認できます。.

How is stress incontinence told apart from urge incontinence?

Stress incontinence leaks on physical effort — coughing, laughing, lifting — with no warning urge. Urge incontinence leaks after a sudden compelling need to pass urine. The distinction matters because the treatments differ completely, and many women have both, which is called mixed incontinence. Where the history is unclear or symptoms are mixed, a urodynamic study measures bladder and urethral behaviour during filling and straining, and establishes which mechanism is dominant.

ストレス性尿失禁に対して手術を検討すべき時期はいつですか?

Surgery is recommended when behavioral therapy and medications have not provided adequate symptom control, or when the SUI is severe enough to significantly affect daily life. The mid-urethral sling (MUS) procedure is the gold standard surgical treatment for female SUI, and urethral bulking agent injection is a less invasive intermediate option. Neither procedure is performed at Bangkok Hospital Headquarters; assessment, urodynamic study and medical treatment are provided here, and a referral to a centre offering surgery can be arranged when it is needed.
