Many women complain about leaking urine when they cough, sneeze, laugh, or exercise. It's called urinary incontinence and it's common and treatable. For some, it may be related to a nerve dysfunction of the bladder or a urinary tract infection. For others, drinking coffee or taking certain medicines may trigger an overactive bladder. These conditions, though not life-threatening, can often lead to self-imposed lifestyle changes that limit your daily activities. Lahey Clinic Urologist Dr. Arthur Mourtzinos explains what you can do to help yourself if you're suffering from bladder control problems.
