   What causes stress incontinence?

   • Stress incontinence happens with sudden pressure on the bladder and urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body). This pressure causes the sphincter muscle inside the urethra to briefly open, allowing urine to come out. Any activity — bending over, jumping, coughing or sneezing, for example — may squeeze the bladder.
