Urinary incontinence (UI) is a condition that aggravates
the performance status of the patient, decreases the quality of life, and has a
high prevalence. When the incidence of urinary incontinence is observed, stress
urinary incontinence (SUI) is the most common (49%), mixed urinary incontinence
(MUI) is the second (29%) and urge urinary incontinence (UUI) (21%) is the
least frequent in all ages.
Conservative methods are effective, well-tolerated,
noninvasive, and safe treatment options for the treatment of UI. Conservative
approaches can be summarized as lifestyle changes, bladder training, and pelvic
floor muscle training (PFMT). PFMT includes biofeedback, vaginal pressure, PFM
exercises, electrical stimulation (ES), electromagnetic stimulation (EMS). The
goal of rehabilitation is to achieve urethral stability by increasing the
strength of the pelvic floor muscles. These approaches can result in
approximately 26% reduction in incontinence episodes.
This article was conducted by examining the latest
international literature data available on this subject. In this article, it is
aimed to give an overview of conservative treatment in patients diagnosed with
urinary incontinence.
