TLDR
Next to existing terminology of the lower urinary tract, due to its increasing complexity, the terminology for pelvic floor dysfunction in women may be better updated by a female‐specific approach and clinically based consensus report.

Short-term effect of adding pelvic floor muscle training to bladder training for female urinary incontinence: a randomized controlled trial

TL;DR: High-intensity PFMT combined with BT is more effective than BT alone in the short term for treating UI or SUI and it appears that the combination therapy may also lead to greater benefits for patients with UUI and MUI.
