Summary

Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined as involuntary urinary leakage or inability to control urine. Various physiological changes during pregnancy, including collagen changes, hormonal changes, and increased uterine and fetal weight, contribute to the weakening of the pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) during pregnancy. Approximately, 42% of women experience their first UI during pregnancy, and up to 31% of parous women have UI. Women with persistent UI after delivery may continue to experience UI for another 12 years. Therefore, UI during pregnancy may be an essential risk factor for subsequent UI among women. This Study will result in a product called Pelvi-Fit app that will help patients to self-treat their Pelvic Floor disorders in a way that is approved by medical experts. It will allow the patient to train their pelvic floor muscles independently who are not able to get medical assistance due to being in remote areas or any other reason.
