Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Urinary Distress Inventory (UDI-6)	8 weeks	It is 6 point scale No= 0, Not at all= 1, Somewhat= 2, Moderately= 3, Quite a bit= 4.; Add all scores and multiply by 6 then multiply by 25 for the scale score; The UDI-6 Total Score of 33.33 was determined to be the optimal cutoff for distinguishing between symptomatic and asymptomatic women.; For UDI-6 scores more than 33.33 indicate higher distress caused by urinary incontinence symptoms.
