Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected at the end of the present study that these involuntary muscular contractions that occur with cooling assist the volunteer in learning or improving contraction of the pelvic floor, which will be evaluated before and after the intervention by means of vaginal touch (Oxford scale) and perineometer use.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- Increased pressure and resistance of contractions of pelvic floor muscles, verified through vaginal touch and perineometer. ;- Reduction in symptoms of urinary incontinence, given by the volunteer.
