In the current scientific literature, it is clear that SUI can cause several social, hygienic and personal relationship problems. It has also been proven that this condition affects many more menopausal women than menacme, and this is believed to be due to the hypoestrogenism characteristic of this phase. On the other hand, weakness of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) is also related to the genesis of SUI. The role of these muscles would be to keep the bladder neck elevated (above the pubic symphysis) during increases in abdominal pressure, and its weakness would lead to excessive lowering of the bladder neck at these times, leading to SUI due to bladder neck hypermobility. The conservative treatment of this condition, therefore, encompasses the strengthening of PFMs, which would avoid excessive descent of the bladder neck during increases in abdominal pressure, thereby reducing urinary loss. In the current literature there are studies proving the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training; however, in relation to the literature on abdominal hipopressive gymnastics, it is observed that the scientific evidence is still poor, however, the technique is still Widely spread through extension courses offered throughout Latin America, France and Spain; With regard to the comparison of these methods with respect to their clinical efficacy and the quality of life and patient satisfaction, there are no consistent studies, and this fact motivated us to carry out this study.

The pelvic floor muscle training group will be composed of randomized women and participated for 12 weeks of intervention, where it was performed in groups of a maximum of 4 patients, starting in the first 4 weeks with 3 sets of 8 repetitions of contraction maintained for 5 seconds In antigravity postures, with two lying postures and one sitting posture, and evolving to the next 4 weeks for 3 sets with 10 repetitions of contraction maintained for 5 seconds being a lying posture, a seated posture and orthostatic posture in the last 4 weeks 3 Series of 12 repetitions of contraction maintained for 5 seconds in the gravitational postures, being one sitting posture and two orthostatic postures.
The hipopressiva abdominal gymnastics group will be composed of randomized women who participated for 12 weeks of intervention, where it was performed in groups of a maximum of 4 patients, being performed respecting the basic sequence of the exercise proposed by Marcel Caufriez: 1) Inspiration, 2) Maximum Expiration, 3) Diaphragmatic aspiration being performed 3 series of 8 to 12 repetitions. The exercises will be performed in groups of a maximum of 4 patients, starting in the first 4 weeks with 3 sets of 8 repetitions in antigravity postures, with two lying postures and one sitting posture, and evolving over the next 4 weeks to 3 sets with 10 repetitions A lying posture, a sitting posture and orthostatic posture, in the last 4 weeks 3 sets of 12 repetitions in the gravitational postures, being a sitting posture and two orthostatic postures.

Check for modification on modified oxford scale
Bidigital palpation will be performed in the vagina and requested the maximum voluntary contraction of the pelvic floor muscles.
Time frame: two months
Check for modification on Perineometry
A silicone probe will be introduced into the vaginal cavity, and then it will be inflated to 100 cm / H2O, and reset. After this will be requested the maximum voluntary contraction maintained for 5 seconds, with interval of 1 minute to rest and after it will be repeated twice.
Time frame: two months
