Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is involuntary leakage of urine (even a single drop) on effort, while coughing, laughing, jumping, etc. Urgency is a situation where the desire to pass urine compels the person to find a toilet in less than 15 minutes. Overactive bladder (OAB) is when the need to void the bladder is more frequent than approximately once every three hours.
Reduced sense of touch or sensation (including anorgasmia), partial sensitivity, painful sexual intercourse, vaginismus (muscular contraction making sexual intercourse impossible) and discomfort during sex (avoiding certain sexual positions) are among the most intimate problems.
It can be noticed by women after childbirth or menopause as a feeling of discomfort or foreign body in the vagina. In more severe situations it will be a visible protrusion of vaginal walls.
