Evaluating Intensive Pelvic Floor Muscle Training Before Surgery in Women with Stress Urinary Incontinence

What this Trial Is About

Pelvic floor muscles support pelvic organs and help control urination and bowel movements. Weakness in these muscles can cause problems like pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence UI, and sexual or anorectal disorders. Stress urinary incontinence SUI, the most common type among women, occurs when urine leaks during activities that increase pressure in the abdomen. Risk factors include being female, aging, obesity, smoking, chronic constipation, past gynecological surgeries, and childbirth. This research aims to evaluate how effective intensive pelvic floor muscle training PFMT is before surgery in women with SUI, to guide better pelvic rehabilitation and possibly reduce the need for surgery.
