ABSTRACT
The term stress urinary incontinence may be used to describe the symptom or sign of urinary leakage on coughing or exertion but should not be regarded as a diagnosis. A diagnosis of urodynamic stress incontinence can only be made after urodynamic investigation, and this is defined as the involuntary leakage of urine during increased abdominal pressure in the absence of a detrusor contraction [1].
