Effect of BT and PFET on Urinary Symptoms and Quality of Life in Patients With OABS

Standard Patient Education will take approximately 20 minutes. Within the scope of standard patient education, some recommendations will be made to the patient to lose weight, drink sufficient water, avoid consuming caffeinated foods and beverages, acidic/carbonated or alcoholic beverages, spicy/acidic foods, and quit smoking. Patients will be evaluated on the day they receive standard patient training (before receiving this training) and 10 weeks after the training.

Interval urination in bladder training in bladder training will be determined according to the bladder diaries filled in by the patients. If the patient is able to do it, bladder education will be improved by increasing the interval urination in bladder training. A total of 5 sessions of bladder training will be applied to patients, the first session of which will be face-to-face. Within the scope of Bladder Training, the patient will be given information about bladder, pelvic floor, incontinence and relaxation techniques. The patient will be asked to fill out a 3-day bladder diary before starting bladder training, and an appropriate progressive timed voiding program will be drawn according to the bladder diaries, and the patient will be given a training brochure to implement this program.

This training will take between 45 and 60 minutes.Within the scope of exercise training, patients will be taught 3 types of contractions: maximal (fast), slow and submaximal contractions. The patient will be asked to continue the maximum and submaximal contraction for 1-2 seconds, and to continue the Deceleration contraction for 3-10 seconds. These contractions will be performed in different positions such as supine, lying on the side, sitting, crawling, squatting and standing, specifically for the pelvic floor November muscle strength of the patient. These exercises will be performed every day and each type of contraction (maximal, slow and submaximal contraction) will be performed 8-12 repetitions, 3 sets per day. Progress will be achieved with follow-ups.
