Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the safety and complications of vaginal pessary use for women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) by comparing follow-up intervals of 3 months versus 6 months.
- In this randomized clinical trial, 38 women with advanced POP were divided into two groups to assess the impact of differing cleaning and monitoring frequencies by a healthcare professional.
- Results showed no significant difference in ulcerations between the groups, but the 6-month group had a higher incidence of bacterial vaginosis, suggesting more frequent follow-up may be beneficial.
Introduction: The efficacy of unilateral versus bilateral Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (TTNS) for women with Overactive Bladder Syndrome (OAB) remains uncertain.
Objective: To compare the efficacy of unilateral and bilateral TTNS in the tibial region in women with OAB.
Methods: This randomized, controlled, triple-blind clinical trial included women with OAB or urgency-predominant urinary incontinence (UUI).
Objective: This study aimed to translate and validate the Estro-Androgenic-Symptom Questionnaire in Women (EASQ-W) into Brazilian Portuguese language, as we hypothesized that this tool would be consistent for addressing the specific context of hormonal symptoms in menopause.
Methods: In a cross-sectional study, a total of 119 women with Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) and 119 climacteric women without GSM were included. The EASQ-W was translated, and its psychometric properties were rigorously examined.
Introduction And Hypothesis: This study was aimed at evaluating the impact of a mobile app-guided pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) program on urinary symptoms and quality of life in women suffering from urinary incontinence.
Methods: The study included women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), who underwent a structured interview and completed validated questionnaires, including the Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis (QUID), the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF), and the Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire (I-QOL). These women were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the app group, which received a visual depiction on the expected contraction pattern through a mobile app to support their PFMT exercises, and the control (paper) group.
Is There a Difference in Whole Body Standing Posture in Women With Urinary Incontinence Based on the Presence of Myofascial Dysfunction in the Pelvic Floor Muscles?

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of postural changes in women who had urinary incontinence (UI) with myofascial dysfunction (MD) and women who had UI without MD in the pelvic floor muscles (PFM).
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed with 234 women who had UI and were at least 18 years old at the urogynecology outpatient clinic of a tertiary academic hospital. The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Overactive Bladder were used to collect urinary data.
Aims: To identify the factors associated with unsuccessful pessary fitting and reasons for discontinuation for women with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
Methods: This systematic review is registered at the PROSPERO database. We have included all studies, regardless of the study design whose primary outcomes were factors associated with unsuccessful pessary fitting and discontinuation for symptomatic POP women.
Introduction And Hypothesis: Short questionnaires are important for validating the clinical diagnosis of urinary incontinence (UI). We sought to validate and culturally translate the Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis (QUID) for the Brazilian Portuguese language.
Methods: A cross-sectional study with 457 women (330 with urinary incontinence and 127 controls) was performed in a Southeastern Brazilian outpatient clinic.
Introduction And Hypothesis: Pregnancy and delivery are well-established risk factors for pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD), but the physiopathology, such as the delivery route, is not well understood. This study evaluated the impact of delivery route on the pelvic floor muscles via 3D ultrasound.
Methods: This review is registered in the PROSPERO database.
