Biofeedback can help many people who suffer urinary problems.


Special exercises called Kegel exercises can be helpful for people suffering from a variety of urinary control problems, including overactive bladder. Learning exactly which muscles to exercise takes patience and practice. Some health experts suggest biofeedback techniques to help people learn how to perform these exercises. A balloon device or electrodes on the skin are used to measure electrical signals from key muscles. Feedback in the form of lights or computer graphs helps people understand when they are flexing the correct muscles.
