Background: Urinary incontinence is defined as the complaint of involuntary loss of urine. It is a common and embarrassing problem. Pelvic floor muscle training has been effective for the prevention and treatment of urinary incontinence during pregnancy and after childbirth. Thus, the aim of this study is to explore the effectiveness & outcome of physiotherapy in pelvic floor muscle training during pregnancy & childbirth in urinary incontinence. Methodology: In this scoping review articles are searched from the search engines like PUBMED, GOOGLE SCHOLAR, etc. These articles are reviewed according to the inclusion criteria which include articles from last 10 years, randomized control trials, systematic review, experimental study, etc. 7 articles were selected according to it. Later the qualities of these articles were analyzed using PEDRO Scale. Conclusion: In conclusion our study demonstrates that the pelvic floor muscle training might be effective in solving the problems of urinary incontinence during pregnancy and after childbirth. Pelvic floor muscle training can be advised by the physiotherapist or the pregnant women can be trained on how to perform the pelvic floor muscle exercises. Thus, pregnant women can take care of themselves and independently perform pelvic floor muscle exercises, thereby eliminating the problems of urinary incontinence. Key words: Pelvic Floor Muscle Training, Pregnancy, After Childbirth, Prevention, Treatment, Urinary Incontinence.

Abstract Background Pelvic floor muscle training (PFM) training for post-prostatectomy incontinence (PPI) is an important rehabilitative approach, but the evidence base is still evolving. We developed a novel PFM training program focussed on activating fast and slow twitch muscle fibres. We hypothesized that this training, which commenced pre-operatively, would improve PFM function and reduce PPI, when compared to a control group. Methods This randomized trial allocated 97 men (63 ± 7y, BMI = 25.4, Gleason 7) undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) to either a control group (n = 47) performing low-volume rehabilitation, or an intervention group (n = 50). Both interventions commenced 5 weeks prior to surgery and continued for 12 weeks post-RP. Participants were assessed pre-operatively and at 2, 6 and 12 weeks post-RP using 24 h pad weights, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite for Clinical Practice (EPIC-CP) and real time ultrasound (RTUS) measurements of PFM function. Results Following RP, participants in the control group demonstrated a slower return to continence and experienced significantly more leakage (p < 0.05), measured by 24 h pad weight, compared to the intervention group, suggesting an impact of the prehabilitation protocol. PFM function measures were enhanced following RP in the intervention group. Secondary measures (IPSS, EPIC-CP and RTUS PFM function tests) demonstrated improvement across all time points, with the intervention group displaying consistently lower “bothersome” scores. Conclusions A pelvic floor muscle exercise program commenced prior to prostate surgery enhanced post-surgical measures of pelvic floor muscle function, reduced PPI and improved QoL outcomes related to incontinence. Trial registration The trial was registered in the Australia New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry and allocated as ACTRN12617001400358. The trial was registered on 4/10/2017 and this was a retrospective registration.
