Core exercises for postpartum urinary leakage
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of core-strengthening exercises designed to help women with postpartum urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising). You'll be assigned to one exercise program and tracked over time to see which works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
