Abstract: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is closely related to pregnancy and delivery. With the implementation of the three-child policy and the increasing number of pregnant women at advanced age or with obesity, the prevalence of SUI during pregnancy and the postpartum period is increasing gradually. Risk factors of SUI that are associated with pregnancy and childbirth include delivery mode, advanced maternal age, overweight/obesity, macrosomia, prolonged second stage of labor, epidural anesthesia, and breastfeeding. Identification of such risk factors is crucial for early intervention for high-risk patients, which would be conducive to reducing the risk of long-term SUI.
