Pelvic Floor Disorder

Women who underwent cesarean delivery may have lower chances of pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence surgeries, according to a register-based linkage study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology.

Women with higher BMI, greater anatomical failure and smoking had a greater recurrence of pelvic organ prolapse — or POP — within 5 years of surgery, according to a secondary analysis of the SAVE-U trial.

Women with fecal incontinence experience negligible differences in improvement between primary interventions including anorectal manometry-assisted biofeedback, loperamide, education, and oral placebo, according to the results of a randomized factorial trial.
