One of the decline in body systems experienced by adult women is the urinary system. In an adult woman, the decrease in the hormone estrogen causes atrophy of the urethral tissue and the effects of childbirth cause weakness of the pelvic floor muscles which can lead to disturbances in controlling urine output, which is called urinary incontinence. The impact of urinary incontinence is experiencing irritation in the area around the vagina, feeling embarrassed, withdrawing from the environment and can lead to depression. Efforts that can be made to overcome urinary incontinence include non-pharmacological therapy in the form of Kegel exercises.
