Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the issue is due to stress incontinence, where any process raising intra abdominal pressure cause leakage of urine as from coughing, weight lifting or else.
Though there are measures as avoidance of constipation and pelvic floor exercises which help a bit to some extent for progression hold of the condition, a definite cure is to be obtained after evaluation of uroflowmetry and surgery in some cases if a therapeutic trial is given.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
