<![CDATA[Introduction: Urinary incontinence is a common issue among the elderly, often leading to reduced quality of life and psychosocial discomfort. Kegel exercise is a non-pharmacological intervention known to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and improve bladder control. Objective: This community service program aimed to empower elderly individuals to reduce urinary incontinence frequency through guided Kegel exercise. Method: The intervention was conducted over a 7-day period involving 10 elderly participants experiencing urinary incontinence. Each participant was trained to perform Kegel exercises three times daily, with close supervision and educational support provided by community health cadres. Results: After the intervention, participants reported significant improvements in urinary function, including enhanced ability to delay urination, reduced frequency of leakage, improved awareness of urination urge, decreased nocturia episodes, and reduced bladder distension. The program also increased their confidence and motivation for self-care. Conclusion: Kegel exercise is a simple yet effective intervention to manage urinary incontinence among the elderly. Community-based programs that promote structured physical activity and peer support can improve health outcomes and independence among aging populations.]]>
