TL;DR: Overall, the review provides some support for the widespread recommendation that PFMT be included in first-line conservative management programmes for women with stress, urge, or mixed, urinary incontinence.

TL;DR: The effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in the prevention or treatment of urinary and faecal incontinence in pregnant or postnatal women is determined and it is uncertain whether antenatal PFMT in incontinent women decreases incontaining in late pregnancy.

TL;DR: There was no difference in withdrawals due to adverse events and dry mouth, but after sensitivity analysis the dry mouth was statistically significantly lower with solifenacin when compared to Immediate Release (IR) tolterodine.

TL;DR: The existing evidence was insufficient to make any strong recommendations about the best approach to pelvic floor muscle training, and it is suggested that women are offered reasonably frequent appointments during the training period.

TL;DR: Women who received biofeedback were significantly more likely to report that their urinary incontinence was cured or improved compared to those who received PFMT alone, and it was common for women in the bio feedback arms to have more contact with the health professional than those in the non-biofeedback arms.
