Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the connection between ulcerative colitis (UC) and pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) in women, suggesting that those with UC experience higher rates of PFD compared to women without inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- Involving 150 women with UC and 150 healthy individuals, the research utilized the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20) to evaluate pelvic floor function, finding significant associations between UC and increased distress scores across various pelvic organ inventories.
- Aging, higher body mass index (BMI), and menopause were also found to significantly contribute to worsening PFD symptoms in women with UC, highlighting the multifactorial nature of pelvic floor issues.
