Role of physiotherapy in improvement of urine incontinence
Urinary incontinence is an involuntary leakage that occurs four times more often in women than in men, and affects women both physically and psychologically.
The incidence in women between the ages of 20-50 years is 57%.
Types of urinary incontinence
1) Urge incontinence that occurs during coughing, exercise, or any kind of pressure on the bladder
2)Urge incontinence, which is caused by the sudden urge to urinate.
Causes of urinary incontinence:
- Pelvic muscle weakness
- Natural childbirth and surgical interventions in the pelvic area
- smoking
- And back pain with age
- Chronic cough
- Obesity and constipation
- Menopause and hormonal imbalance
- Violent sports, especially those associated with high shocks, such as jumping
Why do pelvic floor dysfunction patients need physiotherapy sessions at home?
Physiotherapy therapy sessions at home or clinics help to enhance the patient's self-management, strengthen the pelvic muscles, and improve their lifestyle.
In addition, the role of the physiotherapist through physiotherapy sessions at home includes reducing the financial burden for patients, as the patient with weak pelvic muscles needs intensive care and various health equipment, and physiotherapy can reduce it by achieving the greatest possible degree of independence to help the patient for himself.
Among those exercises provided by the physical therapist in physical therapy sessions at home:
- Kegel exercises that aim to strengthen the pelvic muscle by contracting and relaxing it
- Electrical stimulation to relieve pain in patients with weak pelvic floor muscles
- Treating trigger points, which are spots inside or outside the body, in physical therapy sessions at home
- Biofeedback technique to measure the patient's progress in exercises
