Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation of Female Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

This multicentre, prospective cohort study will be conducted at seven hospital-based pelvic floor health centres nationwide in China. Patients with pelvic floor dysfunctional disorders who are scheduled to undergo pelvic floor rehabilitation are included, including 1) postpartum pelvic floor muscle weakness, 2) mild-to-moderate pelvic organ prolapse (POP), and 3) POP in combination with dysfunction (bowel or bladder dysfunction) or POP in combination with lower urinary tract symptoms (overactive bladder syndrome, constipation, faecal incontinence). Pelvic floor rehabilitation was performed in accordance with the clinical pathway based on patients' disease characteristics and individual conditions, during which baseline data were collected from patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, as well as follow-up surveys at the end of the treatment, 3 months after the end of the treatment, and 12 months after the end of the treatment. The clinical data collected were used to determine the effectiveness of treatment and to summarise the effects of different rehabilitation programmes on the prognosis of postpartum and middle-aged and elderly PFD patients. The data were matched and compared with the patients' clinical symptoms, signs and auxiliary examinations, so as to optimise and determine the individualised and precise pelvic floor rehabilitation treatment plan.
