Summary

This study aims to investigate the effect of knack pelvic floor contraction on sexual dysfunction in females with stress urinary incontinence.

Conditions

  • Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)
  • Sexual Dysfunction

Interventions

OTHER

Interfrential stimulation

The participant will be positioned in semi-Fowler's position. Interferential therapy was given using the quadripolar method. Two electrodes were placed on the lower abdomen just above the outer half of the inguinal ligament, and another two on the inner aspect of the thigh near the origin of the adductor muscle. At the first treatment session, every participant will be examined for pelvic floor contraction by the finger palpation method using sterilized gloves to ensure the correct position of the electrodes. It will be set with intensity up to the tolerable limit of subjects, carrier frequency of 2000Hz, vector 900, rhythmic sweep frequency of 10-100Hz, and duration 20 minutes. Interferential therapy will be applied for the treatment procedure of all women in both groups for 20 minutes, 3days per week for 8 weeks.

OTHER

Knack pelvic floor training

The knack technique (Fitz et al., 2021): * The patient will be instructed to lie in supine lying position with flexed knees. * Ask the patient to contract the pelvic floor muscles for 2-4 seconds and relax for 4 seconds for 15 repetitions with 3 sets before and during coughing or sneezing . * Contract the PFM before and during all daily activities involving effort, before and during coughing, sneezing, laughing, walking up and down stairs, jumping, running, bending, lifting a weight from the floor, holding a child, pushing furniture to prevent urine leakage. * Contract PFM and hold for 2-4 seconds, relax 4 seconds, with 3 sets of 15 repetitions.
