Q: Also, why does laughing cause you to wet yourself sometimes?I had this really funny incident where I could not stop laughing and my stomach and sides began to hurt and I almost peed my pants. What causes that pain? What makes you wanna go potty after a big laugh? Why?

A: Your stomach muscles will hurt if you are laughing hard because they are tensing up and getting a real workout. Laughter is also a good exercise because it forces the air right from the bottom of your lungs out, it’s as good as an aerobic exercise. And if you are a woman, you are more likely to wet yourself (especially if you are older) because again your abdominal muscles are contracting, forcing any fluid in your bladder downwards and through the sphincter muscle which is usually contracted and holding in the urine. When you urinate, you relax the sphincter muscle and that lets the urine out. Usually that muscle is tight and holding the urine in. Hard laughing is forcing the urine past that muscle and out. If the sphincter muscle is weak (women who have had children often have this problem – or as you get older) then you are more likely to wet yourself, however you can regain a tight sphincter by exercises.
