The Effect of Pelvic Floor Exercise on Urinary Incontinence and Quality of Sex Life

The treatment for the sitting group comprised 8 sessions, with a 1-hour combined pelvic floor muscle training (cPFM-T) session each week in a group and 15 minutes of individual home training, six times a week for a total of 8 weeks of treatment. All training sessions comprised warming-up, gradual muscle strengthening and relaxation exercises. In the study, before and after the training programme, we used a self-administered questionnaire.We measured changes in pelvic floor muscle activity with a vaginal surface electromyographic instrument. We performed the transversus abdominis measurements at the same time as the vaginal measurements and pelvic floor muscle tasks.
