Pelvic floor exercise

The pelvic floor exercise protocol involved several steps. Prior to commencing the exercise, women were instructed to empty their bladders. The initial position for the woman was lying in a crook lying position. They were then guided to contract and hold their pelvic muscles for a duration of 5 to 6 seconds, followed by a relaxation period of 5 to 6 seconds. As the sessions progressed, patients were encouraged to perform the exercises in different positions: from a quadriped position, then sitting, followed by standing, and eventually while walking. Each session had a duration of 20 minutes, and the recommended frequency was three times a week for a span of 6 weeks. The repetitions were set at 10 to 15 per set, with two sets in total.
