[Pelvic floor exercises without or with vaginal cones in premenopausal women with mild to moderate stress incontinence].
This study aimed to compare pelvic floor exercise only (group A) with pelvic floor exercise plus vaginal cones (group B) for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. 46 premenopausal women were randomized into two groups. The subjective improvement or cure rates were 85.5% in group A and 84.5% in group B. Urethral pressure profiles showed a significant improvement in the transmission factor in the midurethra in each group and for the maximum urethral closure pressure in group A.
