Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a prevalent condition affecting a significant proportion of women globally, with approximately 50% of all urinary incontinence cases attributed to stress incontinence. SUI is defined as the involuntary leakage of urine during physical activities that increase intra-abdominal pressure, such as coughing, sneezing, or lifting heavy objects. The condition arises when the bladder receives pressure signals before the urethral closure mechanism can respond, typically due to a compromised bladder support system. The weakening of pelvic floor muscles, often resulting from pregnancy and childbirth, is a leading cause. Electrical stimulation of the pelvic floor using a portable functional electrical stimulation system equipped with percutaneously inserted electrodes to address detrusor urinary incontinence. After 4-8 weeks of electrical training, urinary incontinence improved in five out of six patients. Subjectively, incontinence had disappeared in two out of six cases. Urodynamic assessments revealed an elevation in detrusor reflex threshold and reduced incidence of abortive detrusor contractions. This manuscript explores the underlying mechanisms, contributing risk factors, and prevalence of stress urinary incontinence, highlighting the urgent need of pelvic electrical stimulation for effective prevention and management strategies in women's healthcare.
