Forty women aged 50-60 years with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m2 to 30 kg/m2, who complain of stress urinary incontinence and vaginal laxity, will be separated randomly into two equivalent groups. In group (A) 20 women will receive TECAR therapy for 15 min and pelvic floor exercise for 20 min, while in group (B), 20 females will receive sham treatment for 15 min and pelvic floor exercise for 20 min twice per week for 8 weeks. Both groups wil be assessed using a perineometer as an assessment tool for pelvic floor muscle strength muscles and the Visual Analog Scale, ICIQ-UI short form questionnaire about the frequency of urinary incontinence symptoms, Millheiser Sexual Satisfaction Scale, and the Sexual Quality of Life Questionnaire-Female (SQOL-F) to assess sexual satisfaction by each patient before, after 4 weeks, and after 8 weeks of treatment
