SUI is the involuntary loss of urine 011 physical exertion. It causes major embarrassment and depression to many women. SUI can result from either urethral hypcrmobiiity or intrinsic sphincteric dysfunction. Evaluation includes history, physical examination, laboratory investigations, ascending and micturating cystourethrography and urodynamic evaluation.
