Authors' objectives:
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) affects an estimated 15 million women in the United States and is characterized by involuntary loss of urine or urine leakage upon such activities as laughing, coughing, and lifting. The most common cause is urethral hypermobility, a condition in which the urethra opens spontaneously in response to a sudden increase in abdominal pressure. Various therapies are available to treat SUI including medications, physical therapy, and surgery to correct hypermobility. An emerging therapy applies radiofrequency energy through the urethra to firm urethral tissues and reduce leakage.
