Urinary incontinence: Here is a variety of factors of causes: 1, 2
Surgery: some women who have a hysterectomy or prolapse repair suffer from incontinence afterwards.
Pregnancy and childbirth: A vaginal delivery can cause damage to pelvic nerves and muscles, resulting in an overactive bladder. Instrumentally assisted delivery (by forceps or Suction Ventouse) leads to a stretch of the pelvic supportive ligaments and connective tissue with loss of elasticity, weakness and sagging of the bladder neck with the uterus or the vaginal walls. (Cystocele, Cysto-ureterocele).
Obesity: Excess body weight increases abdominal pressure which in turn increases bladder pressure and mobility of the urethra.
