Abstract

Vaginal birth is the main risk factor in the development of pelvic floor disorders. Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) can prevent prolapse symptoms at 2 years after intervention and could reduce the uptake of treatment. Also, results indicated that PFMT increases the chance of improvement in prolapse stage by 17% compared to no treatment.
