There were highly statistically significant differences in the frequency of urinary incontinence (p-value 0.000) and amount of urine loss (p-value 0.004) among the studied women before and after doing deep breathing and Kegel exercises. There were also highly statistically significant improvements in the studied women's physical and psychological conditions (p-value 0.000) after intervention than pre-intervention.
