1. Pregnancy and childbirth: The pelvic floor muscles can weaken during pregnancy and childbirth, leading to stress incontinence.
2. Menopause: Decreased estrogen levels can lead to changes in the urinary tract and pelvic floor muscles, increasing the risk of incontinence.
3. Aging: As women age, the bladder muscle may weaken, leading to increased frequency of urination and incontinence.
4. Obesity: Excess weight can put pressure on the bladder and pelvic floor muscles, leading to urinary incontinence.
5. Neurological disorders: Conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, or stroke can affect nerve signals to the bladder, leading to incontinence.
