The PFME is significantly effective in controlling urinary
incontinence.It should be promoted during pregnancy and after
delivery to prevent or treat postnatal incontinence, control bowel
motions and increased sexual satisfaction. The study was to
determine the knowledge, attitude and practice towards PFME among
antenatal women in Kelantan, Malaysia. They were given
self-administered validated PFME KAP questionnaire.Of 56
respondents, 96.4% were Malay with the mean age of 33 years. The
prevalence of UI was 19.6%.The proportion of antenatal mothers with
good knowledge score was about 51.8%. Attitude showed the highest
proportion with the good score (96.4%), whereas practice was the
lowest(10.7%). There was significant positive correlation between
knowledge and practice score (p=0.012). So the overall knowledge
and practice on PFME were still poor that needs more attention from
primary doctors.Our antenatal mothers should be informed and
trained properly. Utilizing antenatal classes to introduce simple,
easy and cost effective exercise for maintaining pelvic muscle
strength is one the easiest way to improve knowledge, and yet give
a positive impact on its practice and health outcome
