Obesity is a strong independent risk factor for urinary incontinence. Effective therapeutic approaches for obesity‐associated stress urinary incontinence (OA‐SUI) are lacking as the mechanisms remain unclear. The aim of our study is to explore the impacts of microenergy acoustic pulse (MAP) therapy on urethral and pelvic floor muscle structure and function in female lean and fatty rats.

Objective
To study and compare the function and structure of the urethral sphincter in female Zucker lean (ZL) and Zucker fatty (ZF) rats and to assess the viability of ZF fats as a model for female obesity‐associated stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
Materials and Methods
Two study arms were created: a ZL arm including 16‐week‐old female ZL rats (ZUC‐Leprfa 186; n = 12) and a ZF arm including...
