Type of urinary incontinence that occurs during sexual activities

Coital incontinence during vaginal contractions

**Coital incontinence** (**CI**) is [urinary leakage](/source/Urinary_incontinence) that occurs during either [penetration](/source/Sexual_penetration) or [orgasm](/source/Orgasm) and can occur with a sexual partner or with [masturbation](/source/Masturbation). It has been reported to occur in 10% to 27% of sexually active women with urinary continence problems.[1] There is evidence to suggest links between urinary leakage at penetration and urodynamic stress incontinence, and between urinary leakage at orgasm and detrusor overactivity.[2]

Coital incontinence is physiologically distinct from [female ejaculation](/source/Female_ejaculation), with which it is sometimes confused.[2][3]
