Abstract:

The pelvic floor supports the pelvic viscera and plays a role in normal urinary, gastrointestinal and reproductive function including parturition. Weakness of the pelvic floor can result in prolapse of the pelvic viscera and symptoms related to the anatomical and physiological changes. To date, prolapse and its treatment have focussed on restoration of the anatomy although symptom resolution may be more important to the patient. The symptoms attributable to prolapse have not been well defined, which makes the evaluation of treatments impossible. Neither have the factors that may influence symp

Abstract:

Between 4 and 40% of women will suffer permanent pelvic floor trauma in childbirth. Irreversible damage to the pelvic floor at the time of vaginal birth may take the form of trauma to the levator ani complex or obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI). Long-term sequelae include pelvic organ prolapse, its recurrence after surgical repair, urinary and fecal incontinence, sexual dysfunction and chronic pelvic pain. Detection rates are poor, especially for levator ani trauma, which is often clinically undetectable at the time of vaginal birth. Translabial ultrasound is an objective method for the d

Abstract:

Background: In the past few decades, an increasing number of women have been participating in high-impact sports which involves jumping, landing and/ or running activities. Recent data have shown, however, that this kind of activity might be associated with adverse effects, including pelvic floor disorders. Nevertheless, there is very little in the literature about pelvic floor effects associated with endurance sports where high-impact exercise is performed at submaximal intensity for prolonged periods of time. Objective: The primary objective of the present paper is to describe the prevalence

Abstract:

Maternal birth trauma in particular pelvic floor trauma (PFT) is of increasing concern in recent years, mainly due to its association with long term morbidities affecting women’s quality of life. Prediction is difficult and likely to raise ethical, moral and health economic questions, and attempts at primary and interval reconstruction have had only limited success. This work was designed to explore multiple aspects of PFT with a particular focus on prevention and its effect on pelvic organ support through one prospective multicentre randomised controlled trial, two cross-sectional and four re

Abstract:

It has long been considered that aspects of pregnancy and child birth play a role in the aetiology of pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD). Most women have their first pregnancy in their 20's, yet the peak time for presentation with symptoms is 2 or 3 decades later. The studies embodied in this thesis are designed to examine the prevalence and antecedent risk factors ofPFD in women 20 years after their first delivery. Unique aspects ofthe studies described here are: identification of a consecutive group of women having their first pregnancies over a short time period in a single hospital; the est~bl

Abstract:

Pelvic floor dysfunction in the form of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common gynaecological condition, especially in the elderly. Although the aetiology is poorly understood, several risk factors such as vaginal childbirth, chronically raised intra-abdominal pressure (such as asthma and chronic constipation), ageing, previous hysterectomy and connective tissue disorders are thought to play a role in the pathophysiology of POP. Studies have shown that vaginal childbirth can result in both gross and micro-architectural distortion/alteration of the pelvic floor musculature and is thus consider

Abstract:

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a major health problem that affects women. POP is a herniation of the female pelvic floor organs (bladder, uterus, small bowel, and rectum) into the vagina. This condition can cause significant problems such as urinary and fecal incontinence, bothersome vaginal bulge, incomplete bowel and bladder emptying, and pain/discomfort. POP is normally diagnosed through clinical examination since there are few associated symptoms. However, clinical examination has been found to be inadequate and in disagreement with surgical findings. This makes POP a common but poorly und

Abstract:

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common condition for women in which increased soft tissue mobility allows one or more of the pelvic organs to descend into the vagina causing a variety of distressing symptoms. While POP is a global problem, there are additional challenges and considerations for women living in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) for the assessment and treatment of this condition. This is especially true in Nepal, where women may have difficulties accessing appropriate health services because of the distance to the nearest facilities, financial constraints, social stigma,

However, it is known that verbal and written information are often insufficient for women to learn to contract their pelvic floor muscles correctly. The overall aims of this thesis were t

Childbirth and obstetric factors have been linked to the subsequent development of urinary incontinence.

Motivation of pregnant women to practise the exercises has not been examined.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) are diseases related to weakness of supportive tissues of the pelvic floor due to altered collagen production in middle-aged women and traumatic processes in younger women such as pregnancy and vaginal delivery.

Synthetic non-absorbable materials, such as polypropylene mesh produce a vigorous inflammatory response followed by dense fibrosis and have been associated with serious complications such as exposure.

Abstract:

Regular physical activity is a recognised factor in the promotion of lifelong health. Exercise during pregnancy has been more accepted lately, and research shows that exercise during pregnancy is safe and beneficial, as opposed to the general view a few years ago when exercise during pregnancy was considered dangerous for both mother and fetus. It is likely that exercise plays a crucial role for women's health in postpartum as at any other time during her life. However, exercise after pregnancy is not a wellstudied field and there are uncertainties about how exercise postpartum should be perf

Resumo: Avaliar a prevalência de disfunções do assoalho pélvico após o tratamento de carcinoma invasor de colo uterino. Uma amostra de sessenta mulheres submetidas á histerectomia radical (n=20), radioterapia exclusiva (n=20) ou quimiorradiação (n=20) foram incluídas para análise. As funções de assoalho pélvico foram avaliadas por meio de questionários e avaliação física após, pelo menos, 6 meses do final do tratamento. A análise estatística realizada foram os testes de Mann-Whitney, kruskal-Wallis, Wilcoxon, Qui-quadrado quando apropriados. O p<0,05 foi considerado significativo. A idade vari

Abstract:

Physiotherapist-supervised pelvic floor muscle (PFM) training is the recommended first-line treatment for women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI); however, only up to 50% of women are cured with this treatment. The primary objective of this study was to develop a predictive model of successful physiotherapy intervention outcomes among women with SUI using predictors that are accessible to clinicians. The secondary objective of this study was to run a preliminary investigation of morphologic differences between women with SUI who were cured with a physiotherapy intervention and those who w

Abstract:

Background Pelvic floor muscle exercises are a recommended first-line treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women (NICE, 2006). Poor adherence to pelvic floor muscle exercises (PFME) is a recognised problem which has the potential to compromise successful treatment (Bø, 1995; Alewijnse et al., 2001). Biofeedback is thought to help motivate PFME practice but so far this has not been evaluated in a randomised study. Aim This study tests the hypothesis that use of clinic-based sEMG biofeedback improves women’s motivation to exercise (PFME adherence) by increasing pelvic floor muscle
