Duration | Stress Incontinence

Duration

The duration of the treatment and thus the incontinence depends on various factors. Above all, the duration depends on the pelvic floor training and the success of the treatment through targeted muscle exercises. Only through consistent training can muscle function be built up in the long term.

It can take a few weeks before the first improvement is seen. However, if there is severe damage to the pelvic floor muscles, for example due to injuries after childbirth or, in men, after prostate surgery, complete healing rarely occurs. Targeted training can only strengthen the remaining healthy muscles.
