Menopausal urinary incontinence

Menopausal women's urinary incontinence is a more common problem for the elderly, and is one of the most common problems that torture elderly women, affect quality of life, and cost the most. From perimenopause to menopause, women gradually entered the senile period, and their organs were changing, and the genitourinary system was gradually changing. Lack of estrogen makes the pubic muscle, fascia, ligaments, etc. loose, and the function of supporting tissues is reduced. It cannot maintain normal urethral position and bladder tension. It increases stress when coughing, holding breath, and constipation. The definition proposed by stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is: the sudden increase in abdominal pressure leads to involuntary outflow of urine, which is not caused by detrusor systolic pressure or bladder wall tension pressure on urine. It is characterized by no enuresis under normal conditions, and urine automatically flows when abdomen pressure suddenly increases.
