Though a literature review about the evaluation and treatment of stress urinary incontinence using vaginal cones and pelvic floor's exercises. A case report was made to compare and adequate this treatment to the attendance at the physical therapy ambulatory ofthe Hospital Universitário Regional do Norte do Paraná, having in mind the social-cultural conditions ofthe observed patients and the avaiable resourses in these servise, with the objective to create in attendence ambulatorial register and to compare our results to the literature wich shows dialy vaginal cones aplication by themselves at home. This procedure is unviable to our service's and patient's reality. The results of this study showed a more reliable evaluation about the pelvic floor's muscle power and a treatment with a satisfactory result applied at the ambulatory twice a week.
