Brief Answer: Need to see urologist Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic. It seems that your grand mother has stress incontinence of urine. It is painless release of urine with sudden increase of abdominal pressure due to cough, sneeze, etc. It happens due to defect in the outlet of the urinary system either the sphincter is weak or it is a hypermobile bladder neck. Some things that may work in such a scenario are Kegel exercise to strengthen the pelvic muscles. Estrogen cream and surgical tightening of urethra can be tried in order to help with it. A urologist will be able to help you with it. Regards Dr Vaishalee
