Second-generation Radiofrequency Application and Therapeutic Exercise for Stress Urinary Incontinence

This is a self-administered questionnaire with four questions and a total score ranging from 0 \[best\] to 21 \[worst\] that identifies people with urinary incontinence and its impact on quality of life.

The KHQ is a self-administered instrument specifically designed to assess quality of life in women with UI. It consists of 21 items distributed across 9 dimensions: perception of overall health (1 item), impact of UI (1 item), limitations in daily activities (2 items), physical limitations (2 items), social limitations (2 items), personal relationships (3 items), emotions (3 items), sleep/energy (2 items), and severity of UI (5 items). The score range for each dimension is from 0 (lowest impact of UI and therefore best quality of life) to 100 (highest impact, worst quality of life). This questionnaire provides an overall value for the quality of life of the patient with UI (Overall Score-OS) and another specific value for each dimension on a scale with the following range: 0: Best possible quality of life - 100: Worst possible quality of life.

A two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound system with B-mode capability and cine-loop function, a 3.5 to 6 MHz curved convex probe transducer, was used for the perineal image. The examination will be performed in the dorsal lithotomy position, with the hips flexed and slightly abducted and the heels placed close to the buttocks, or in a standing position if necessary.
