Background: The aim of this study was to analyze how antepartum pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) plus perineal massage associated with postpartum PFMT have a significant impact on pelvic floor health during pregnancy and after delivery.
Methods: One thousand two hundred thirty-three women were enrolled from January 2019 to December 2021. They were divided into two groups: 786 women underwent postpartum PFMT only, 447 women experienced both prepartum perineal massage and PFMT and postpartum PFMT.
Introduction: The study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of bulking agents and single-incision slings in the treatment of urinary incontinence in 159 patients during a 29-month follow-up period.
Material And Methods: Of the 159 patients suffering from stress urinary incontinence, 64 were treated with bulking agents (PAHG Bulkamid) and 75 with a single-incision sling (Altis). The ICIQ-UI-SF (Incontinence Questionnaire-Urine Incontinence-Short Form), PISQ-12 (Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaires short form), FSFI (Female Sexual Function Index), FSDS (Female Sexual Distress Scale), and PGI-I (Patient Global Improvement Index) were used to assess efficiency and quality of life.
