Postpartum stress urinary incontinence (PSUI) is one of the common symptoms in women after pregnancy and delivery. With the development of society and the increasing age of pregnant women, the incidence of PSUI has been rising due to an increase in the number of older mothers. PSUI seriously affects the quality of life of postpartum women and can lead to postpartum anxiety and depression. Therefore, understanding the influencing factors of PSUI and early effective intervention and treatment are of great significance. This article provides a review of the influencing factors and prevention of PSUI, aiming to provide reference for reducing the incidence of PSUI.
