Introduction: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in females is a common gynecological issue that impedes lifestyle. Exercise had a significant effect; however, studies did not determine the exercise frequency and intensity for pelvic floor stabilization in stress urinary incontinence. Aim: The aim of the study is to determine if maximum repetition of pelvic stabilization exercise impacts the management of stress urinary incontinence in females. Methodology: One arm quasi-experimental study design was used. 40 patients having SUI and associated musculoskeletal complaints were recruited from the outpatient unit of Physiotherapy department of the Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP), Bangladesh. The study was conducted over 4weeks. Outcome measurement was included pelvic floor and abdominal muscle strength, endurance, and incontinence measurement. Result: Pelvic floor muscle and abdominal strength, and endurance had a positive and significant result in maximum repetition (P.001). Pelvic floor strength has been significantly improvement in week 2 (P.001), and week 3 (P.01). Interference in activities (P.003), and ICIQ total (P.001) had improvement but majority of the improvement was noted in weeks 2-3. There was a significant improvement in the frequency of urine leakage in the first week (P.001), and week 3 (P.005) and week 4 (P.001). Conclusion: Pelvic floor exercise with increasing repetition is an effective approach to improve stress urinary incontinence in women. The study also found its significant impact on incontinence frequency, amount, and associated quality of life for women with stress urinary incontinence with pelvic floor exercise with maximum repetition.
