Mechanisms underlying the development of SUI include pudendal nerve injury during vaginal delivery, (2) incomplete pudendal nerve regeneration after delivery, (3) and loss of muscular, ligamentous, and fascial support of the urethra and bladder. The pudendal nerve is derived from sacral spinal segments 2 through 4, and travels laterally through the pelvis. Increased activity of the pudendal nerve is believed to increase contractions of the urethral sphincter at the opening of the bladder, thereby helping to prevent accidental urine leakage. |
