Modern society suffers from stress incontinence, which is an important medical, psychological and social problem. Stress incontinence has been discussed in Poland for the last years, but the problem is not new. The authors of this science paper emphasize the necessity for clarification of the strategy of prevention and treatment of urinary incontinence. This publication is a review of the published research concerning risk factors for the prevalence of stress incontinence. Based on the scientific literature, the importance of prevention

of the urinary incontinence in women has also been analyzed. Until now, there have been numerous researches investigating the effectiveness of various forms of conservative treatment for stress urinary incontinence. The most common physiotherapy methods include exercises of the pelvic floor muscles and biofeedback. In the opinion of many authors, these methods of the conservative treatment have a beneficial effect but due to a variety of methodical approaches in the treatment you cannot directly compare the results of these observations. There is a necessity for clarification of the strategy of treatment and prevention of urinary incontinence.
