Caused by weakening of bladder muscles so that leakage occurs when pressure is placed on the bladder such as with exercise, coughing, sneezing, pregnancy, and obesity.

• A. Stress incontinence
• B. Urinary hesitancy
• C. Polyuria
• D. Pelvic pain

Answer: (A)

Stress urinary incontinence occurs when the pelvic floor muscles and urethral support are weakened, so any rise in intra-abdominal pressure causes urine leakage. Activities that increase pressure on the bladder—like coughing, sneezing, exercising, or actions tied to pregnancy and obesity—trigger this leakage, which matches the scenario described. The other terms don’t fit: urinary hesitancy is trouble starting urination, polyuria is producing too much urine, and pelvic pain refers to discomfort rather than pressure-induced leakage.
