| Sumario: | Introduction: This undergraduate thesis aims to conduct a literature review on the role of physiotherapists in the treatment and prevention of postpartum urinary incontinence, a problem that significantly affects women's quality of life. Postpartum urinary incontinence is a common and often overlooked condition that can have significant psychological and social consequences. Physiotherapy is a potentially effective intervention to prevent and treat this condition, but current evidence is limited and not well established. Objective: This study seeks to analyze the contribution of physiotherapy in the prevention and treatment of postpartum urinary incontinence. Methodology: To do so, studies investigating the efficacy of different physiotherapy approaches, including pelvic floor exercises, biofeedback, and electrical stimulation, will be reviewed. Results: They indicated that those who received treatments focused on pelvic floor strengthening, compared to those who did not have access to physiotherapy, experienced a significant reduction in the incidence of this problem among women. Conclusion: Furthermore, it may contribute to the development of evidence-based clinical guidelines for the prevention and treatment of postpartum urinary incontinence. |
