Biofeedback treatment uses electronic or mechanical instruments to relay visual and/or auditory evidence to assist a person in gaining control over a physiologic process or function. In pediatric urology patients, biofeedback treatment is used to promote retraining of pelvic muscles. Figure 1 depicts the pathophysiology of dysfunctional voiding. In the figure, increased pelvic floor tension or ...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the pelvic floor muscle strength of nulliparous and primiparous women. METHODS A total of 100 women were prospectively distributed into two groups: Group 1 (G1) (n = 50) included healthy nulliparous women, and Group 2 (G2) (n = 50) included healthy primiparous women. Pelvic floor muscle strength was subjectively evaluated using transvaginal digital palpat...

BACKGROUND To describe the clinical, functional and quality of life characteristics in women with Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI). In addition, to analyse the relationship between the variables reported by the patients and those informed by the clinicians, and the relationship between instrumented variables and the manual pelvic floor strength assessment. METHODS Two hundred and eighteen wo...

Introduction: Pelvic organ prolapse is a multifactorial gynecological condition, caused by disruption of muscles the pelvic organs. Case Report: A 63-year-old female presented with history stress urinary incontinence, dyschezia, and sexual dysfunction. complete clinical urogynecological evaluation was performed diagnoses uterine vaginal incontinence were made. The patient underwent hysterectomy...

Purpose of the study: Pelvic floor muscles dysfunction is one of the most important etiologies of coccydynia, therefore, manual therapies have been proposed as the first line of treatment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of biofeedback as a new approach in the treatment of coccydynia. Methods: Thirty women were randomized into two groups. Both groups were injected with ...

OBJECTIVE To correlate, in a pilot study, the clinical results of extracorporeal magnetic innervation therapy (ExMI) of the pelvic floor muscles with functional changes in the pelvic floor musculature, urodynamics and quality of life. PATIENTS AND METHODS In all, 74 patients (65 women and nine men) with urge incontinence, urgency/frequency, stress incontinence, mixed incontinence and defecati...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of stabilization exercises and pelvic floor muscle training in women with stage 1 and 2 pelvic organ prolapse. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a total 38 women with pelvic organ prolapse whose average age was 45.60 years, pelvic floor muscles were evaluated with electromyography, and prolapse with pelvic organ prolapse quantification system, an...

background: female sexual dysfunction is a common problem among general population, especially in urogynecological patient, and can lead to a decrease in quality of life and affect martial relationship. objective: this study was compared the effect of surgical methods versus physiotherapy on sexual function in pelvic floor disorder. materials and methods: this randomized controlled trial (rct) ...

Influences of sacral anomalies on the postoperative continence of imperforate anus were evaluated clinically and experimentally. Postoperative continence was clinically assessed by the quantitative scoring system for 77 patients (44 of high-type anomalies and 33 of low-type anomalies). Incidence of combined sacral anomalies was 28.6% (38.6% in high type anomalies and 15.2% in low type anomalies...
