Measuring the gap: new study links body anatomy to kegel success

This study looked at 150 women with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing or sneezing) to see if a simple measurement called anogenital distance (the space between the anus and genitals) could predict who would get the most benefit from pelvic floor muscle training (Kegel exercises). All women did supervised Kegels for three months. Researchers measured their anogenital distance before treatment and compared it to their improvement. The goal was to see if this measurement could help doctors personalize treatment plans.
