Body:
Physical therapy might be recommended, with pelvic floor exercises using biofeedback to strengthen specific muscles of the pelvic floor. Biofeedback involves the use of monitoring devices with sensors that are placed in your vagina, rectum or on your skin.
As you perform an exercise, a computer screen shows whether you're using the right muscles and the strength of each squeeze (contraction) so that you learn how to do the exercises properly. Long-term strengthening of these muscles is the most important factor in reducing your symptoms. Biofeedback teaches you how to use your own muscles to keep them strong.
