Abstract

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women remains a prevalent condition, leading to significant physical and emotional distress, often lacking effective non-invasive treatment options. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) for managing stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women. Hence, a total of 100 women underwent a 12-week PFMT program, with assessments of urinary leakage, pelvic floor muscle strength and quality of life. Significant improvements were noted in all outcome measures, including reduced leakage, enhanced muscle strength and better quality of life. The study enhances current understanding by demonstrating significant improvements in urinary leakage, pelvic floor muscle strength and quality of life, contributing valuable insights into non-surgical management of SUI.
