Why Do I Pee When I Laugh?

Picture this: You're at a dinner party, and someone tells the funniest joke you've heard all week. You laugh so hard that you... leak a little? OMG.

Sound familiar? You're not alone! Today we explore the mystery of stress incontinence and introduce you to a fantastic new solution.

What Is Stress Incontinence

Stress incontinence is a bladder control issue that results in the unintentional loss of urine during physical movement or activity. But wait, it's not about feeling stressed out? Not quite! We're talking about the kind of stress your bladder feels during:

A hearty chuckle
A powerful sneeze or cough
Lifting something heavy
Exercising
Sexual activity

If you’ve ever experienced leaking during these activities, you might have stress incontinence. This condition affects more people than you’d think! Bladder control issues are twice as common in younger and middle-aged women and people assigned female at birth (AFAB) due to pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause, which can affect your pelvic muscle strength.

How Leaks Happen

Think of your bladder like a balloon filling up with water (in this case, urine). There's a small valve or door at the end of a short tube, called the urethra, that holds everything in. Normally, that door stays shut tight, keeping everything inside until you're ready to go to the bathroom. But sometimes, those muscles that keep the door closed can get a bit weak.

When that happens, strong actions like sneezing, laughing hard, or lifting something heavy can push against that balloon. If the door's muscles are weak, that push might force it open a little, causing some leakage. It's like having a water balloon with a not-so-tight knot; if you squeeze it, some water might squirt out!

Why Do I Have Poor Bladder Control

Loss of bladder control is quite common, and nothing to be ashamed of! Bladder control issues affect approximately 30% of women and people AFAB over 50 and 15% of men and people assigned male at birth (AMAB) over 50. There are plenty of contributing factors to this condition, including:

Health Changes

Aging
Constipation
Diabetes
Obstructed Urinary Tract
Being Overweight
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

Mysterious Medical Culprits

Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease
Pregnancy and Childbirth
Prostate Surgery & Spinal Cord Damage
Stroke

Lifestyle Choices

Alcohol
Sugar Substitutes & Spicy Foods
Caffeine Fix
Blood Pressure Medications
Sedatives
Soda and Fizzy Drinks
Large Doses of Vitamin C
Smoking
Couch Potato Lifestyle

How Do I Stop Peeing When I Laugh?

There are several ways to naturally improve bladder control issues and reduce your risk of developing them. These include:

Bladder retraining (going to the bathroom at set times)
Cutting back on alcohol and caffeine
Kegel exercises (pelvic floor exercises)
Physical therapy and exercise
Weight loss
Adding more fiber to your diet
Cutting back or quitting smoking
