Gynaeurology (urogynaecology)
The study of women's lower urinary tract dysfunction, prolapse and associated problems including incontinence.
Incontinence
Do you leak when you sneeze or dribble if you jump? What about that uncontrollable urge triggered by the sound of gushing water?
The truth is, age has nothing to do with this kind of incontinence. Doctors say that as many as half of all women younger than 45 know what it's like to accidentally wet themselves. The causes range from childbirth and smoking to everyday stress on weak pelvic or abdominal muscles.
You might think women in great shape wouldn't have a problem holding their urine. But many of them do.
Ingrid Nygaard, M.D., who does research on incontinence in young women at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, found leaking can be a real problem for female athletes. She says gymnasts especially report sudden, uncontrollable urine loss, and not only in the gymnasium.
Incontinence is also a problem for women who play basketball, tennis and field hockey and take aerobics classes, Dr. Nygaard says. These activities exert intense pressure on the pelvic floor muscles when the heels of a woman's feet hit the ground, she says.
