Research shows that light bladder leakage (LBL) is commonly linked to factors like pregnancy and childbirth, which can strain or weaken the pelvic floor muscles; perimenopause and menopause, when declining oestrogen causes the tissues in the urinary tract to thin and lose elasticity; and lifestyle triggers such as high-impact exercise or chronic constipation. Stress incontinence—leaks during coughing, sneezing, or movement—is typical during hormonal shifts, and Australian Physiotherapy Association data notes that around 1 in 3 women experience leaks during exercise. These physical and hormonal factors often intersect, making LBL a multi-causal, but highly manageable, experience.
