What Gynecological Conditions Can Be Worsened by Chronic Cough?
- Pelvic Organ Prolapse: The repeated strain from chronic coughing can weaken the pelvic floor muscles, increasing the risk of prolapse. - Urinary Incontinence: Women who suffer from stress urinary incontinence may find that chronic coughing aggravates their condition, leading to more frequent leakage. - Menstrual Irregularities: While not directly caused by chronic cough, the stress and physical strain associated with chronic coughing can lead to general health issues that may affect menstrual cycles.
