Stress urinary incontinence is a problem affecting about 42% of women in the UK. Nurses are working to overcome the perception that it is a natural outcome of childbirth or the ageing process. This paper provides an overview of current treatment options, including lifestyle management, pelvic floor exercises and surgical options.
