Comparative magnetic resonance imaging-based study of pelvic floor morphology and function before pregnancy and after primigravida vaginal delivery.
BMC Pregnancy Childbirth

Department of Radiology, The Affiliated People's Hospital of Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 602 Ba Yi Qi Zhong Road, Fuzhou, China.
Background: Vaginal childbirth is one of the main risk factors for pelvic floor dysfunction. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can facilitate quantitative evaluation of the morphology and function of the pelvic floor in static and dynamic environments. The objective of this study was to investigate the changes in pelvic floor morphology and function in primigravida women before pregnancy (BP) and after vaginal delivery.

Background: Puerperal infection (PI) accounting for approximately 11% of maternal deaths globally is an important preventable cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. This study aims to analyze the high-risk factors and pathogenic bacteria of PI, design a nomogram to predict the risk of PI occurrence, and provide clinical guidance for prevention and treatment to improve maternal outcomes.
Methods: A total of 525 pregnant women were included in the study.
Epidural Anesthesia and Pelvic Floor Outcomes in Primiparas: A Retrospective Transperineal Ultrasound Study.
Int Urogynecol J
December 2024
Department of Ultrasonography, HangZhou First People's Hospital of China, ZheJiang University, Hangzhou, P. R. China.
Purpose: This study evaluated pelvic organ positions in primiparas with painful and painless deliveries using transperineal ultrasound (TPU) and assessed the effects of epidural anesthesia on pelvic floor function.
Methods: From January 2022 to March 2023, 512 primiparas with vaginal deliveries at our hospital underwent pelvic floor ultrasound examinations 42 days postpartum. The study included 138 women with painful deliveries and 375 with painless deliveries.
Clinical value of transperineal ultrasound in evaluating the effects of different delivery methods on the primipara pelvic floor structure and function.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to assess how different delivery methods (vaginal vs. cesarean) affect pelvic floor structure and function in first-time mothers using transperineal ultrasound.
- The research involved measuring various pelvic indicators like levator hiatus areas and vesical neck positions in both resting and maximum Valsalva states to identify potential pelvic floor dysfunctions.
- Findings revealed that vaginal delivery was linked to larger pelvic measures and greater incidences of certain postpartum conditions compared to cesarean delivery, suggesting a need for tailored early postpartum interventions based on delivery mode.
Effect of pelvic floor muscle exercise combined with infrared physiotherapy on postpartum urinary incontinence.

January 2025
Background: Scientific treatments for postpartum urinary incontinence, including pelvic floor muscle exercises (such as Kegel exercises) and infrared therapy, can effectively improve pelvic floor and urethral function, thus enhancing quality of life. However, clinical research on the combined use of these interventions for postpartum urinary incontinence is limited.
Objective: To investigate the combining efficacy of pelvic floor muscle exercises with infrared physiotherapy on postpartum urinary incontinence.
