A Qualitative Exploration of the Perceptions of Women Living with Pelvic Floor Disorders and Factors Related to Quality of Life.

Pelvic floor dysfunction encompasses conditions like urinary and fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and pelvic pain, significantly affecting women's quality of life.

Objective: To determine the association between different pelvic floor disorders and the presence of sexual dysfunction in women.

Method: An observational study of non-pregnant women was carried out in Spain in 2021 and 2022.

Impact and Influence of Urinary Incontinence on Physical Activity Levels.

Background: The benefits of physical activity are numerous on both physical and mental levels.
