GONZALEZ SANCHEZ, B.; RODRIGUEZ-MANSILLA, J.; TORO GARCIA, A. de  e  GONZALEZ LOPEZ-ARZA, M.V.. Efficacy of training pelvic floor musculature in female urinary incontinence. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2014, vol.37, n.3, pp.381-400. ISSN 1137-6627.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1137-66272014000300008.

Urinary incontinence «as the involuntary loss of urine, which conditions a social and hygienic problem» is defined. There are a variety of techniques for the treatment of urinary incontinence. The aim is to determine the clinical effectiveness of different methods used to train the musculature of the pelvic floor as treatment for female urinary incontinence, both stress and mixed, and its contribution to improving the quality of life of these patients. For this purpose we performed a systematic review of controlled clinical trials. After analysing the results, we conclude that the treatment of stress or mixed urinary incontinence through training exercises for the musculature of the pelvic floor contributes positively to improving symptoms and strengthening the muscles of the pelvic floor and to the quality of life of affected patients.
