Summary

This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) during pelvic floor exercises helps women who leak urine after childbirth. Fifty women, ages 22-35, who had a vaginal delivery 3-6 months ago will be randomly assigned to standard training or VR-enhanced training. The goal is to see if VR makes the exercises more effective at strengthening pelvic muscles and reducing leaks.
