Abstract
Urinary incontinence (UI) is a condition that aggravates the performance status of the patient, decreases the quality of life, and has a high prevalence. When the incidence of urinary incontinence is observed, stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the most common (49%), mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) is the second (29%) and urge urinary incontinence (UUI) (21%) is the least frequent in all ages. Conservative methods are effective, well-tolerated, noninvasive, and safe treatment options for the treatment of UI. Conservative approaches can be summarized as lifestyle changes, bladder training, and pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT). PFMT includes biofeedback, vaginal pressure, PFM exercises, electrical stimulation (ES), electromagnetic stimulation (EMS). The goal of rehabilitation is to achieve urethral stability by increasing the strength of the pelvic floor muscles. These approaches can result in approximately 26% reduction in incontinence episodes. This article was conducted by examining the latest international literature data available on this subject. In this article, it is aimed to give an overview of conservative treatment in patients diagnosed with urinary incontinence.
