Non-pharmacological interventions for perineal trauma in the postpartum period: A scoping review.

Background: Non-pharmacological interventions for perineal trauma are crucial for postpartum women's care, providing an alternative to excessive medication use and the associated potential adverse effects for both the woman and her newborn.

Aim: To map the non-pharmacological interventions studied in the context of childbirth-related perineal trauma over the years.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, BVS/Bireme, CINAHL, Embase, Scielo, ProQuest, ProQuest theses, Medline, Web of Science, and Scopus electronic databases.

Prolactinoma in postmenopausal women: a systematic review.

Importance: Prolactinomas occurring during the reproductive period exhibit a characteristic behavior. There are, however, gaps in the literature regarding the behavior of these tumors after menopause.

Objective: This study aimed to review and characterize the influence of menopause on prolactinoma behavior.

Does the addition of electrical stimulation or kinesiotherapy improve outcomes of amitriptyline treatment for women with vulvodynia? A randomized clinical trial.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Women diagnosed with provoked vulvodynia frequently report a great deal of frustration in achieving symptomatic relief. Physical therapy and drug treatment are among the interventions most indicated by guidelines; however, whether those modalities are effective when combined remains unclear. The objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of adding a physical therapy modality compared with amitriptyline alone for the treatment of vulvodynia.

Effect of Vaginal Stretching and Photobiomodulation Therapy on Sexual Function in Women With Pelvic Floor Myofascial Pain - A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Background: Spasm or increased tonus of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) can cause myofascial pain (MP), which may result in painful intercourse and sexual dysfunction.

Aim: The effect of vaginal stretching (VS) with photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) is compared to VS with sham PBMT in overall sexual function, rate and severity of painful intercourse at baseline and after treatment in women with pelvic floor MP.

Methods: A double-blind randomized clinical trial of 103 women with MP: 1 group received 10 sessions of VS with PBMT (4 Joules of near-infrared light-808 nm at 3 points), and the other group received VS with sham PBMT.
