Abstract
A method of treating overactive bladder in women involves inserting an intravaginal device of substantially spherical shape and a diameter that fits the width of the vagina into the vagina above the levator ani muscle, and maintaining said device in the appropriate location inside the vagina for an extended period of time to exert its therapeutic effect. The method may further comprise performing pelvic floor exercises, preferably exercises consisting of contracting the levator ani muscle and squeezing soft objects between the knees while in a prone position, preferably twice a day, with said device left inside the vagina.
