FYI

Incontinence in pregnancy is not highlighted as a problem, as it is overlooked by other pressing problems and their events. There are a lot of physiological changes that happen during pregnancy, in the lower genital tract, that increases the risk of incontinence. There is a 50% hike in the glomerular filtration rate in the kidney with increase in the urine output to 90-100 ml per hour. The renal calyces also dilate predominantly on the right side. Renal blood flow increases by 30% with the pressure from the gravid uterus decreasing the functional capacity of the kidney.
