Summary

Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common and worldwide problem.Although pelvic floor muscle training(PFMT) is the standard recommendation for conservative treatment but some patients had difficulty doing PFMT. They could not locate the pelvic floor muscles, and so could not perform the PFMT properly or increase intensity of the exercise. The authors hypothesized that rectal balloon training(RBT) may improve patients' pelvic floor recognition as well as it is another option of progressive strengthening of pelvic floor muscle. This study's aim is to combine RBT with PFMT using the water-filled balloons of Foley catheters

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Rectal Balloon Training

Subjects in combined RBT and PFMT group are taught for foley catheter insertion technique. The catheter is inserted into the rectum until the lower end of the balloon is 1 cm inside from the anus. Then the balloon is blown with clean water starting at 10 cc. Then the volume is progress to 15 cc in 3rd week and 20 cc in 5th week

OTHER

Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT)

Standard pelvic floor muscle exercise (Pelvic floor muscle training;PFMT) is assigned for 6 weeks.
