Introduction and hypothesis There has been an increasing need for the terminology on conservative management of female pelvic floor dysfunction to be collated in a clinically based consensus report. Methods This Report combines input members elected nominees Standardization Terminology Committees two International Organizations, Urogynecological Association (IUGA) Continence Society (ICS), assisted at intervals by many external referees. An extensive process nine rounds internal review was...
The terminology for anorectal dysfunction in women has long been need of a specific clinically-based Consensus Report.This Report combines the input members Standardization and Terminology Committees two International Organizations, Urogynecological Association (IUGA) Continence Society (ICS), assisted on Committee by experts their fields to form Joint IUGA/ICS Working Group Female Anorectal Terminology. Appropriate core clinical categories sub classifications were developed give an...
Dyspareunia, the symptom of painful sexual intercourse, is a common dysfunction in reproductive-aged women. Because its multifactorial etiology, multidisciplinary approach may be required to treat it. Musculoskeletal factors play an important role; thus, rehabilitating pelvic floor and modifying tone muscles (PFMs) effective way this dysfunction. The aim randomized controlled clinical study was evaluate effects rehabilitation techniques on dyspareunia. Of 84 women, assessed for eligibility,...
Aims Pelvic floor dysfunctions (PFDs), like voiding complaints, urinary and fecal incontinence, prolapse, are prevalent associated with decrease in quality of life. PFDs often complex multifactorial origin showing interrelationships between different PFD affective conditions. The primary aim this study is to describe the prevalence complaints a cohort Care Centre (PCC) patients. secondary associations depression or anxiety.

To investigate the occurrence of urinary incontinency (UI) in pregnant women and its relationship with socio-demographic variables quality life.

Pregnancy and delivery are thought to induce urinary incontinence (UI), but its clinical impact is less known. Therefore, we investigated the prevalence of self-reported UI, level experience bother, beliefs gain a greater understanding help-seeking behavior in adult pregnant women.
Pelvic floor rehabilitation is an appealing treatment for patients with fecal incontinence but reported results vary. This study was designed to assess the outcome of pelvic in a large series consecutive caused by different etiologies.A total 281 (252 females) were included. Data about medical history, anal manometry, rectal capacity measurement, and endoanal sonography collected. Subgroups defined sphincter complex integrity, nature possible underlying causes incontinence. Subsequently...
Abstract Aims Fecal incontinence (FI) is embarrassing, resulting in poor quality of life. Rectal sensation may be more important than sphincter strength to relieve symptoms. A single‐blind, randomized controlled trial among adults with FI compared the effectiveness rectal balloon training (RBT) and pelvic floor muscle (PFMT) versus PFMT alone. Methods We 80 patients, recruited from Maastricht University Medical Centre. Primary outcome was based on Vaizey score. Secondary outcomes were...
