Pelvic floor exercises help manage urinary incontinence by...

• A. Strengthening muscles to help manage UI.
• B. Weaken pelvic floor muscles.
• C. Increasing bladder capacity.
• D. Curing kidney disease.

Answer: (A)

Pelvic floor exercises work by strengthening the muscles that support the bladder and urethra. When these muscles are stronger, the pelvic floor provides better support and improves the ability of the urethra to stay closed during activities that raise abdominal pressure (like coughing or lifting). This reduces urine leakage and helps manage urinary incontinence. Strengthening, not weakening, is the key, and changing bladder capacity or curing kidney disease isn’t how these exercises work.
