Abstract

The International Continence Society defines Urinary Incontinence (UI) as an involuntary loss of urine, which may be associated with physical exertion, stress and psychological factors. To determine the management of urinary incontinence, a careful and exhaustive evaluation is required in patients who suffer from it, to determine the most appropriate management according to its etiology. The treatment of this condition ranges from conservative to surgical options, with physiotherapy being the first choice due to its effectiveness, reduced cost and low associated risk. Objective: Determine the effectiveness of less invasive treatments used in urinary incontinence to improve lifestyle in women who suffer from it. Methodology: This bibliographic review work is a descriptive study, through a bibliography review of scientific articles updated in the last 5 years, search engines such as Pubmed, Google Academy were used to collect information on the least invasive management of urinary incontinence in women. Conclusion: It is possible to determine that both conservative management, physiotherapeutic and pharmacological techniques have evidence of improvement in patients with urinary incontinence and their use will depend on the type of urinary incontinence, the cost and the benefit in the patients.
