“…Similar results to the ones found in this study were achieved in the research carried out by Fitz et al [35], with the application of PFM exercises as conservative treatment among women with SUI through a period of 3 months. Rett et al [36] also observed a significant change in the evaluation of the influence of urinary incontinence on the physical activity of women after conservative treatment.…”

“…The conservative treatment yielded good results regardless of the chosen gymnastics plan. Similar results were achieved by Fitz et al [35] who studied the QOL among 36 women aged 55,2 ± 9 before and after the application of PFM gymnastics. All study areas of QOL showed statistically significant improvement.…”

Introduction: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is an ailment diagnosed in many women in different periods of life. It is estimated that nearly 60% of them will experience the effect of SUI on the quality of life (QOL) in the perimenopausal period. The International Continence Society (ICS) recommended pelvic floor muscle (PFM) exercise as first line treatment. The aim of this study was to compare the QOL of patients with stage 1 SUI that performed PFM and the synergistic muscle (PFM and SM) exercise and isolated PMF (PFM) exercise for the period of 3 months. The additional objective was to evaluate the influence of menopausal status, body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR) and the number of births given on the effectiveness of treatment. Materials and methods: After urodynamic testing executed at the Clinic of Gynaecology, Endocrinology and Gynaecologic Oncology in the Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin (in Poland), 140 patients were selected. Women were in the perimenopausal period and suffered from SUI stage 1. The conservative treatment was carried out under supervision in 2 groups, 70 patients each. The mean age of women was 51-53 years, BMI -27.4 kg/m2 and WHR was 0.88 (first group) and 0.81 (second group). Before and after the treatment, patients' QOL was evaluated with the use of the ICIQ LUTS qol questionnaire. Moreover, the patients in both groups received vaginal oestriol. Statistica v. 12.0 PL, StatSoft, USA, was used for statistical calculations. Results: Analysis demonstrated the effectiveness of both exercise protocols. The study revealed that exercise according to protocol A (PMF and SM) is more effective than protocol B (PMF). There was no change in QOL in personal relationships. The influence of menopausal status, WHR and number of births was proven. Conclusions: PFM and SM exercise and PFM exercise alone improved the QOL of women with SUI stage 1. However, a stronger impact was observed in the physiotherapy of PFM and SM. The PFM and SM exercise was proven to be more effective than the PFM exercise alone when performed by women with SUI in their premenopausal period, with a gynoidal body type, and in the case of women who gave birth less than three times. Keywords: stress urinary incontinence; perimenopausal period; physiotherapy; pelvic floor muscles; ICIQ LUTS qol; quality of life. ABSTRAKT Wstęp:Wysiłkowe nietrzymanie moczu (WNM) jest dolegliwością dotyczącą wielu kobiet w różnych okresach życia. Szacuje się, iż prawie 60% z nich w wieku perimenopauzalnym doświadczy wpływu WNM na jakość życia (QOL). Według International Continence Society leczenie rozpoczyna się od metod zachowawczych, do których zalicza się gimnastykę mięśni dna miednicy (MDM). Celem pracy było porównanie QOL pacjentek z WNM I stopnia po zastosowaniu gimnastyki MDM z mięśniem synergistycznym oraz gimnastyki wyłącznie MDM, którą przeprowadzono w okresie 3 miesięcy. Dodatkowo oceniono wpływ wskaźnika masy ciała (BMI), wskaźnika dystrybucji tkanki tłuszczowej w organizmie (WHR), liczby porodów oraz statusu...

Aim This study aims to determine the effectiveness of home‐based pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) on decreasing the severity of symptoms and improving the quality of life (QOL) among Omani women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods A randomized controlled single‐blind trial was conducted in three primary health care centers in Muscat. Eligible women who were diagnosed with SUI (from a concurrent phase‐I study which was a cross‐sectional study to determine the prevalence of urinary incontinence in Oman) were invited to take part. The consenting subjects were randomly allocated to either an intervention group (unsupervised PFMT) or a control group (lecture with no PFMT). Baseline and 12‐week assessment of both groups was carried out for the primary outcome using the validated Arabic version of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ)‐short form and the secondary outcome by blinded measures of pelvic floor muscle (PFM) strength using the modified Oxford grading system (MOGS), endurance, and perineometer. Results A total of 73 subjects were included in the study. They were randomly divided into two groups. Both groups were similar at the baseline in terms of sociodemographic characteristics, ICIQ score, and PFM strength. At the 12‐weeks assessment, there was a significant difference in the ICIQ score (P < .001) between the intervention group and the control one. There was no statistical difference between the two groups in MOGS, endurance, or perineometer values. Conclusions The home‐based PFMT is an effective treatment in reducing the severity of symptoms and improving the QOL in women with SUI.
