If this comes out to be effective, this can be great contribution to gym doing females to improve their urinary incontinence related impairments. Woman would be encouraged to continue regular exercise. This will be randomized clinical trial. There are two groups for the compression of adductors strengthening and pelvic floor muscle strengthening. The collected data will be entered in SPSS 20.0, Descriptive and Inferential statists will be applied. Results and conclusion will be drawn.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• urinary distress

  Urinary Distress Inventory, Short Form (UDI-6), UDI-6 consists of 6 items: 1-Frequent urination, 2-Leakage related to feeling of urgency, 3-Leakage related to activity, 4-Coughing, or sneezing small amounts of leakage (drops), 5-Difficulty emptying the bladder, and 6-Pain or discomfort in the lower abdominal or genital area

  6 months

• Cough stress test

  Cough stress test to evaluate urinary incontinence. Leakage of fluid from the urethral meatus coincident with/simultaneous to the cough(s) is considered a positive test.

  6 months

• Vaginal Ultrasonography

  Bladder neck mobility can be described as a semicircular movement with the tip of the symphysis pubis as the center and a line from the tip to the bladder neck as the radius (BS). Movement can be measured by 2 independent factors: BS distance and size of the angle between the BS line and the midline of the symphysis, at rest, during the Valsalva maneuver and withholding urine. The continent controls were characterized by a 90 degrees angle at rest, a long BS (2.4 cm) and a fixed bladder neck
