Kegel exercises guided by traditional Chinese medicine to prevent bladder leaks after childbirth
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a specific type of Kegel exercise, guided by traditional Chinese medicine, can help prevent urine leakage (incontinence) after having a baby. If you are pregnant with your first baby and planning a vaginal birth, you might be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
