A 63-year-old overweight female prediagnosed of stress urinary incontinence presented with exacerbated events of urine leakage. She was advised a residential lifestyle and behavioral program, primarily consisting of a monitored yoga therapy module, apart from her ongoing anticholinergic medicine, for 21 days. Assessments were based on a frequency volume chart, a bladder diary for the entire duration of treatment, and the International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form questionnaire on the days of admission and discharge. A total of 1.9 kg of weight loss was observed during her stay. Usage of pad, as reported in her diary, reduced from 3 to 1 per day. Her International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form score reduced from 16 to 9, indicating better continence. She expressed subjective well-being and confidence in her social interactions. This is probably the first case report demonstrating feasibility of integration of yoga therapy in the management of urinary incontinence.
一名63岁的超重女性，之前被诊断为压力性尿失禁，现出现尿失禁加重的情况。除了正在服用的抗胆碱能药物外，她还被建议进行为期21天的住院生活方式和行为计划，主要包括一个有监测的瑜伽治疗模块。评估基于排尿日记、整个治疗期间的膀胱日记，以及入院和出院当天的《国际尿失禁咨询委员会模块化问卷 - 尿失禁简表》。在她住院期间，共观察到体重减轻了1.9千克。根据她日记中的记录，每天使用的护垫数量从3片减少到了1片。她的《国际尿失禁咨询委员会模块化问卷 - 尿失禁简表》评分从16分降至9分，表明尿失禁情况有所改善。她表示主观幸福感增强，在社交互动中更有信心。这可能是第一例证明瑜伽治疗可用于管理尿失禁的病例报告。
