Pregnancy and the postpartum period are well-established risk factors for urinary leakage. There are two main types of urinary incontinence that women typically experience: urge incontinence and stress incontinence.
Urinating seems like a simple thing. However, there are several things that can intrude on this simple bodily function. Things like pregnancy and giving birth (even if it’s via c-section), both of which can have dramatic effects on the pelvic floor muscles.
