This is a problem that most commonly affects women. It's when you have trouble holding your pee when pressure is put on your bladder. Pee can leak when you exert yourself in some way, like during physical activity.
This treatment calms muscle spasms of your bladder (the organ that holds your urine). These muscle spasms make you feel the urge to pee often, even when you don't really need to. This treatment stops the sudden urges that interrupt your daily life.
