Aim: To study the effect of structured exercise protocol for post menopausal stress urinary incontinence.

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of structured exercise protocol for post menopausal stress urinary incontinence.

Methods: Ethical clearance was obtained from the Institutional Ethical Committee, KIMSDU, Karad. Initially the awareness program was conducted in karad and nearby areas. The selected sample was then studies at Krishna hospital, karad. 58 patients were equally divided into two group using convenient sampling with random allocation.Group A (n=29) , Group B (n=29). Baseline treatment was IFT and bladder training program. Group A was given structured exercises, Group B was given conventional exercises. Outcome measures were analyzed after 6 weeks.

Result: Intergroup comparison in group A result showed improvement in pad test (p = <0.0001). Group B was statistically extremely significant in improvement in pad test (p = 0.0002). Group A result showed that improvement in pelvic floor muscle strength (p = <0.0001). whereas Group B showed improvement in pelvic floor muscle strength (p = <0.0001). Group A result showed improvement in all parts of kings health questionnaire (p = 0.0001) and group B also showed improvement in kings health questionnaire (p = 0.0001) Intra group analysis reviled one hour pad test, KHQ, PFM strength considered significant in both groups.

Conclusion: The study concluded that structured exercises protocol along with IFT and bladder training was equally effective in reducing dribbling of urine, improvement in QOL, PFM strength.
