Abstract
Stress testing is essential to the diagnosis of genuine stress incontinence. Urinary incontinence is defined by the International Continence Society (ICS) as a condition where there is involuntary leakage of urine that is objectively demonstrable and represents a social and hygienic problem. Before any patient can be said to be incontinent there needs to be some objective demonstration of this urinary loss.
