| Research Abstract |
The efficacy of the support underwear to reduce symptoms of stress urinary incontinence in parous women was evaluated. Firstly, the women wore the support underwear with the effect to elevate the bladder neck for one week. As a result, the symptoms of urinary incontinence were not decreased significantly. Secondly, in addition wearing the support underwear, the women walked 6000 steps for 12 weeks. As a result, symptoms of urinary incontinence were decreased significantly, and the bladder neck was elevated even when not wearing the underwear. Moreover, after 1-week without wearing the underwear, symptoms of urinary incontinence did not recur. The elevation of the bladder neck and the disappearance of incontinence without the underwear might possibly have been strengthened pelvic floor muscles.
