Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Objective of this longitudinal observational cohort study was to analyze incidence of pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) symptoms, including pelvic organ prolapse (POP), urinary incontinence (UI), and fecal incontinence (FI), seven to twelve years after delivery, in two groups of singleton primiparae after vaginal delivery (VD) and cesarean section (CS).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Pelvic floor disorders (PFD) usually refers to three definable groups of symptoms that include pelvic organ prolapse (POP), urinary incontinence (UI), and fecal incontinence (FI). The prevalence of these conditions increases with age, but in general, PFD affect 20-50 % of women throughout their lives. Thus, PFD are common and have significant societal impact. Another important PFD risk factor is childbearing. Specifically, these disorders are more common among multiparas. Vaginal delivery (VD) has been considered the main contributing factor because of pelvic floor muscle, fascia, and nerves damage.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

VD

Vaginal delivery group - women who gave birth of offspring through the vagina without the use of special instruments such as forceps or a vacuum extractor (instrumental vaginal delivery)

delivery

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

delivery either vaginal or by cesarean section

CS

Cesarean section group - women delivered by surgical procedure in which one or more incisions are made through a mother's abdomen and uterus to deliver a baby. Cesarean section is performed when a vaginal delivery would put the baby's or mother's life or health at risk.
