A challenge to prevent urinary incontinence in females using in females using support underwear-Evaluation using a vertically open MRI system-

评价支撑内衣对减轻产妇压力性尿失禁症状的效果。首先，女性穿着有抬高膀胱颈部效果的支撑内衣一周。结果，尿失禁症状没有明显减轻。其次，除了穿着支撑内衣，这些女性在12周内走了6000步。结果，尿失禁的症状明显减轻，即使不穿内裤，膀胱颈部也会升高。而且，1周不穿内裤后，尿失禁症状没有再发生。膀胱颈的抬高和尿失禁的消失可能是由于不穿内衣而加强了盆底肌肉。

The efficacy of the support underwear to reduce symptoms of stress urinary incontinence in parous women was evaluated. Firstly, the women wore the support underwear with the effect to elevate the bladder neck for one week. As a result, the symptoms of urinary incontinence were not decreased significantly. Secondly, in addition wearing the support underwear, the women walked 6000 steps for 12 weeks. As a result, symptoms of urinary incontinence were decreased significantly, and the bladder neck was elevated even when not wearing the underwear. Moreover, after 1-week without wearing the underwear, symptoms of urinary incontinence did not recur. The elevation of the bladder neck and the disappearance of incontinence without the underwear might possibly have been strengthened pelvic floor muscles.
