Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Cystometry	before treatment and after 3 months	Ithe dynamic measurement of detrusor pressure during the continuous filling of the bladder.
Severity index scale	before treatment and after 3 months	measure frequency and amount of urine loss ,calculated by this equation: Severity index of incontinence = (Points for frequency of urine loss) × (Points for amount of urine loss) calculated by this equation: Severity index of incontinence = (Points for frequency of urine loss) × (Points for amount of urine loss) measure frequency and amount of urine loss to calculate severity of incontinence, o Frequency of urine loss grades: Never = 0 less than once a month= 1 once to several times a month = 2 once to several times a week = 3 Every day and/or night = 4; * o Amount of urine loss grades: No drop (completely dry) = 0 A few drops = 1 A little = 2 More = 3

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
body mass index	before treatment and after 3 months	measure ( weight per height squares )of patients kg/m\^2
