Explanation of Solution
Urinary incontinence is an embarrassing problem in which the urinary bladder lost its control. It results in intense, sudden urine urgency and leads to involuntary control of urine. This condition might result by diabetes mellitus, infection, and in neurologic disorder.
Bladder retraining program is a behavior therapy which helps to treat urinary incontinence. This program uses to increase the time between bladder emptying.
Kegel exercise is also called as pelvic muscle exercise which is consists of relaxing and contracting the pelvic muscles. During exercise, relaxed breathing and tightening the stomach, thigh muscles are needed simultaneously. Increase the squeezes for every week and avoid overdoing it. Rest is needed between each set of squeezes that gives a better result.
Mrs. Grayson is encouraged to do exercise regularly as per the continence specialist. It gives results after 4 weeks of steady exercise. She is continuously observed by the continence specialist that she could do the exercise properly as continence specialist instruction. If the patient has any problems in doing correct exercise or identifying the correct muscles, she is back to the continence specialist.
