Title	Managing stress urinary incontinence.
Subject	Urinary incontinence; Urinary stress incontinence; Urinary Incontinence, Stress, therapy; Urinary Incontinence, Stress, diagnosis.
Description	Stress urinary incontinence is a common problem that affects the lives of many females in their life time especially during pregnancy as a result of weakness to their pelvic muscles. This condition has a significant impact on the social, psychological and physical well being of the individuals and affects their quality of life. Research shows women with stress urinary incontinence have a higher rate of depression and social isolation than those without urinary incontinence, and as a result of the psychological distress they suffer their sex drive and self esteem become compromised. Due to embarrassment, women fail to disclose this problem to their physicians and their health care providers feel reluctant to discuss this problem because they feel it is a sensitive matter. As a result, this condition goes untreated leading to complications associated with urinary incontinence like urinary tract infections, skin breakdown etc. Many treatment options are available like surgery, pharmacological therapy and pelvic floor muscle exercises. The choice of the patient in choosing the appropriate treatment is important; PFME is often the first treatment option.
