Leaking urine after peeing can be caused by weak pelvic floor muscles, certain medications, or conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Leaking urine after peeing, also known as urinary incontinence, can happen for a few reasons. One common cause is weak pelvic floor muscles, which can make it hard to control the bladder. These muscles can get weaker due to things like aging, pregnancy, or not enough exercise.
Another reason for leaking urine can be medications. Some medicines can cause urinary incontinence as a side effect. It's important to check with a doctor if you think your medicine might be causing this.
Certain health problems, like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), can also lead to urinary incontinence. People with COPD might cough a lot, which puts pressure on the bladder and can lead to leaking.
If you are experiencing leaking urine, it might help to talk with a healthcare provider who can offer advice and possible treatments.
