Interventions

  • Behavioral modification — BEHAVIORAL
    It includes: .- Reducing or eliminating smoking and carbonated drinks. * Weight loss in overweight or obese individuals. * Caffeine Reduction: Limiting caffeine intake, especially for those consuming at least 400 mg per day. * Consume Adequate Water: 6 to 8 glasses of water per day. * Refrain from consuming fluids 2 to 3 hours before bedtime. * Identify Bladder Irritants: such as sugar substitutes, citrus fruits, and tomato. * Increasing fiber intake like fruits, and vegetables to reduce constipation with adequate hydration to make stools softer and easier to pass
  • Pelvic floor down-training — OTHER
    Pelvic floor down training exercises aimed at promoting relaxation and deconditioning of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM). It will be practiced three sessions per week for 8 weeks. Biofeedback-Assisted pelvic floor down-training: Procedure: * Rectal biofeedback will be inserted. * The therapist asks the woman to focus on consciously relaxing and releasing the PFM after each contraction or exercise while watching biofeedback screen. * Then, breathe deeply and fully into her abdomen, allowing her pelvic floor to naturally relax and lengthen. * And to incorporate relaxation techniques such as visualization, or progressive muscle relaxation to promote overall muscle relaxation and reduce PFM tension. * Exercises are typically repeated around 10-20 times per session. This number can vary depending on the patient's condition and tolerance, as well as the therapist's assessment and treatment plan.
