Opis

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is involuntary loss of urine with sudden increase of intra-abdominal pressure in situations such as coughing, sneezing, lifting heavy object or high impact physical activity and in absence of detrusor contraction. It has high prevalence rate with numerous risk factors as aging, obesity, smoking, chronic cough, diabetes mellitus,pregnancy and childbirth. the first line in SUI rehabilitation is the pelvic floor exercises and they were a successful method for decades. recently the concept that the pelvic floor muscles are not an isolated unit, but they are part of the abdominal capsule which surrounds the abdominal and pelvic organs became very strong in the SUI rehabilitation process, especially with easiness of illustration and awareness of abdominal muscles contraction. so, in this book we are trying to clarify this concept with evidence based hoping for more research and validation of this concept.
