Human life needs health and happiness. This health and happiness depend on environment, hygiene and many other things. Before the appearance of new sciences and new medicine, experimental medicine was responsible for medical affairs of many societies. In Iran in late Ghajar era and at the onset of Pahlavi era, a great change happened that it was accompaniment of experimental and new medicine. Therefor in many Iraninian cities including Firoozabad, despite spread of dangerous contagious deseases or events led to harm the people who were outside the coverage of experimental medicine, but apothecaries and their co-workers were busy treating sick people. Wethere debility of diagnosis and lack of medical facilities did not lead to good results, but activities of practitionairs of this group were considerable. Concerning the social situation and because of dominance of superstions and lack of medical training of experimental medical practitioners some of their methods were effective in treating the patients, although the time of treatment of the patients was longer and death risks were higher. This research intends to inform their results and effects based on social situations, methods of treatment, medicines and experimental methodes, on health of Firoozabad inhabitants.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is defined as involuntary emission of urine following straining or cough or sneezing. It is considered one of the major health issues throughout the world with its negative social, cultural and psychological impact. The aim of this study is to achieve substantive theory and Prevention strategies of SUI in the Iranian Traditional medicine (ITM) and comparing them with contemporary medicine.
we searched contemporary medical articles in various libraries for etiology of SUI and its preventive methods. Then we discussed the SUI from ITM perspective while mentioning its preventive methods with emphasis on control of main causes. They were compared with the ones mentioned in contemporary medicine.
We found reports about urinary incontinence (UI) in ancient sources of ITM. Considering SUI symptoms in modern medicine, we found footprints of SUI in Salas-albool (Urine incontinence) and Taghtir-albool (Dribbling) caused by moisture (Rotubat), coldness and weakness of bladder. Risk factors for development or aggravation of stress incontinence are weakness of pelvic structures such as bladder neck with resultant decreased prehensility of bladder (quvah maskah). Avicenna and other ITM scholars believe that moisture (Rotubat) and coldness can weaken the retention capacity (quvah maskah) of bladder. Therefore controlling the aggravation of moisture and coldness in the body and pelvic region and bladder in particular can prevent the development of stress incontinence.They include lifestyle recommendations for bladder and related organs such as eating and drinking habits, exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, sleep and wakefulness, bathing and proper sitting habits.
Discussion & There is considerable similarity between contemporary medicine and ITM about etiology and prevention of SUI. Still ITM medicine’s recommendations seem to be more ccomprehensive paving the way for an educational program for women, mothers and young females. Despite scientific advancements managing stress incontinence can be easier by using preventive methods of ITM.
