AB Behavioral  treatment  consists  of  a  group  of  interventions  that  actively  engage  the  patient  to  change  her  habits  or  learn  new  skills  to  improve  pelvic  floor  function.  These  interventions  have  been  used  for  several  decades  to  treat  urinary  and  fecal  incontinence,  other  lower  urinary  tract  symptoms,  and  defecatory  dysfunction.  They  have  been  integrated  into  several  disciplines  and  are  implemented  in  many  different  ways.  The  spectrum  of  behavioral  treatments  includes  those  that  train  pelvic  floor  muscles  in  order  to  improve  strength  and  control,  as  well  as  those  that  modify  voiding  habits  and  life  style.
