ABSTRACT = {<b>Introduction:</b> Stress urinary incontinence is a common and costly condition amongst community dwelling women. It can have a significant negative impact on the quality of life, and yet less than half of women with urinary incontinence seek medical attention. It is important for primary care physicians to have a clear understanding of stress urinary incontinence in order to screen and manage patients who may have bothersome symptoms.<br/>
<b>Objective:</b> This article aims to outline the terminology, pathophysiology, clinical evaluation and treatment of female stress urinary incontinence.<br/>
<b>Conclusion:</b> Female stress urinary incontinence can be effectively evaluated and managed in the primary setting. Specialist referral is warranted when there is complex urinary symptomatology, hematuria on work-up or failure of conservative therapy.},
