Urinary incontinence is characterized by involuntary loss of small, medium or large amounts of urine. According to scientific research the cure of urinary incontinence is directly related to the perineum muscle tone and this can be achieved through the practice of Kegel exercises and physiotherapy .
According to a scientific publication, approximately 70% of the women submitted to physiotherapeutic treatment for urinary incontinence who were discharged from the hospital and who were advised to perform the exercises at home, after one year were practically cured, reporting only the loss of small drops of urine when exerting effort.
This proves that not all women with urinary incontinence should be indicated directly for surgery, and physiotherapy is a science capable of promoting healing in these cases.
To supplement the treatment of incontinence at home, it is recommended to do the Kegel exercises 3 times a day, lasting 3 seconds for each contraction of the perineum. Watch the following video how to do these exercises:
