Materials and methods Patients of UI were referred from gynecology OPD to BTR. There was trained staff available in BTR to teach Kegel exercises and related behavior therapy to the patients. Records of the patients were maintained. Follow-up was done through phone calls and personal visits of UI patients. Results A total of 251 cases were registered in BTR over 2 years. Overall 126 patients got relief from urine incontinence and prolapse of pelvic floor organs after BT.
