ABSTRACT

Objective: Few studies have addressed the use of sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) in the treatment of patients with multiple pelvic floor dysfunctions (PFD). So, we evaluated the functional outcomes and level of satisfaction with SNS in selected patients with one or multiples PFD. Methods: A prospective database was used to collect information on eligible patients treated for PFD with SNS, and severity of symptoms was assessed with scores and satisfaction rates by visual analogue scale (VAS) at baseline and by the end of follow-up. Results: We recruited 70 patients, 98.6% of whom responded positively during the evaluation period (Global Response Assessment ≥ 50% for at least one type of PFD), resulting in the implantation of a permanent SNS device. Additionally, 49 of the patients (71%) had a single PFD (fecal incontinence [FI] = 38; constipation/obstructed defecation syndrome [C/ODS] = 11), while 20 (29%) had more than one PFD (double incontinence/n = 12; double incontinence + C/ODS/n = 8). All scores improved significantly between baseline (pre-SNS) and the end of follow-up (post-SNS), as did VAS in all groups (single and multiple PFD). The pre-SNS scores were higher in patients with a single PFD, including FI (Cleveland clinic Florida incontinence score [CCF-FI]) and C/ODS (Cleveland clinic constipation score [C-CCF] and the Renzi ODS score). The pre-SNS impact of VAS scores was similar in all groups (single and multiple PFD), but the VAS (post-SNS) was significantly lower (better response) for FI alone compared with multiple PFD. Conclusion: The SNS technique is an effective and safe option for patients with one or more PFD refractory to conservative measures. Response was positive for at least two PFD, based on reduced correspondent scores and satisfaction rate. (AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: El clítoris es una de las estructuras vulvares menos examinadas, pese a su relevancia en la vida sexual y sus importantes relaciones anatómicas. Las adherencias del capuchón del clítoris han sido descritas y clasificadas según la exposición del glande, siendo relacionadas con trastornos del deseo sexual. La inervación del clítoris depende de raíces de S3-S4, siendo posible que síntomas frecuentes del piso pélvico tengan relación con esta condición. Realizamos un análisis retrospectivo de pacientes de policlínico de piso pélvico entre noviembre de 2021 y abril de 2022. Se incluyeron 100 pacientes con adherencias al ingreso. RESULTADOS: Promedio de edad 45,8 ± 15,5 años. Las adherencias fueron el 19% leves, el 62% moderadas y el 18% graves. Los principales síntomas eran mal vaciado vesical (38%), dolor (28%), disfunción sexual (39%) y síntomas irritativos vesicales (43%); solo una paciente fue asintomática. El área visible promedio del clítoris era de 20,7 ± 13,7 mm2. CONCLUSIONES: Las adherencias del capuchón del clítoris son un hallazgo común, muchas veces no diagnosticadas, por lo que su evaluación debe ser parte de la exploración física. Pueden asociarse a sintomatología de piso pélvico.


INTRODUCTION: The clitoris is one of the least examined vulvar structures despite its relevance in sexual life and important anatomical relationships. Clitoral hood adhesions have been described in the literature, classified based on glans exposure, and related to sexual desire disorders. The innervation of the clitoris depends on the roots of S3-S4, and frequent pelvic floor symptoms may be associated with this condition. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical record of patients admitted to a pelvic floor clinic between November 2021 and April 2022. One hundred patients with adhesions at the time of admission were registered. RESULTS: Average 45.8 ± 15.5 years. Clitoral hood adhesions were mild (19%), moderated (62%), or severe (18%). The main symptoms were voiding dysfunction symptoms (38%), pain (28%), sexual dysfunction (39%), and irritative bladder symptoms (43%); only one patient was asymptomatic. The visible area of the clitoris was 20.7 ± 13.7 mm2. CONCLUSIONS: Adhesions of the clitoral hood are often undiagnosed, and its analysis should be part of the physical exam. Clitoral hood adhesions could be associated with pelvic floor symptoms.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of the surgical treatment for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in stages III and IV by sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF) or uterosacral ligament suspension (USLS) by comparing anatomical and subjective cure rates and quality-of-life parameters (through the version validated for the Portuguese language of the Prolapse Quality of Life [P-QoL] questionnaire) under two definitions: genital prolapse Ba, Bp, and C< −1 (stage I) and Ba, Bp, and C ≤ 0 (stage II). Materials and Methods After we obtained approval from the Ethics Committee (under CAAE 0833/06) and registered the study in ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT 01347021), 51 patients were randomized into two groups: the USLS group (N = 26) and the SSLF group (N = 25), with follow-up 6 and 12 months after the procedures. Results There was a significant improvement in the P-QoL score and anatomical measurements of all compartments in both groups after 12 months (p< 0.001). The anatomical cure rates in the USLS and SSLF groups, considering stage 1, were of 34.6% and 40% (anterior) respectively; of 100% both for groups (apical); and of 73.1% and 92% (posterior) respectively. The rates of adverse outcomes were of 42% (N = 11) and 36% (N = 11) for the USLS and SSLF groups respectively (p= 0.654), and those outcomes were excessive bleeding, bladder perforation (intraoperative) or gluteal pain, and urinary infection (postoperative), among others, without differences between the groups. Conclusion High cure rates in all compartments were observed according to the anatomical criterion (stage I), without differences in P-QoL scores and complications either with USLS or SSLF for the surgical treatment of accentuated POP.


Resumo Objetivo Avaliar a eficácia e os resultados do tratamento cirúrgico para prolapso de órgãos pélvicos (POP) nos estágios III e IV, por meio da técnica de fixação do ligamento sacroespinal (FLSE) ou suspensão do ligamento útero-sacro (SLUS), ao comparar os índices de cura anatômicos, subjetivos, e os parâmetros de qualidade de vida (por meio do questionário Prolapse Quality of Life [P-QoL] validado para a língua portuguesa) sob duas definições: prolapso genital Ba, Bp e C< −1 (estágio I) e Ba, Bp e C ≤ 0 (estágio II). Materiais e Métodos Após aprovação do Comitê de Ética (CAAE 0833/06) e registro no ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT 01347021), 51 pacientes foram randomizadas em dois grupos: grupo SLUS (N = 26) e (2) grupo FLSE (N = 25), com seguimento de 6 e 12 meses. Resultados Houve melhora significativa nas pontuações no P-QoL e nas medidas anatômicas de todos os compartimentos em ambos os grupos após 12 meses (p< 0,001). As taxas de cura anatômica nos grupos SLUS e FLSE , considerando o estágio 1, foram de 34,6% e 40% (anterior), respectivamente; de 100% em ambos os grupos (apical); e de 73,1% e 92% (posterior), respectivamente. As taxas de resultados adversos foram de 42% (N = 11) e 36% (N = 11), respectivamente, nos grupos SLUS e FLSE (p= 0,654), e elas foram sangramento excessivo, perfuração da bexiga (intraoperatória) ou dor glútea, e infecção urinária (pós-operatória), entre outras, sem diferenças entre os grupos. Conclusão Altas taxas de cura em todos os compartimentos foram observadas segundo critério anatômico (estágio I), sem diferença quanto às pontuações no P-QoL e às complicações tanto com SLUS quanto com FLSE para o tratamento cirúrgico de POP acentuado.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)is an entity with evolving conceptual nuances that deserve full consideration. Gestational diabetes leads to complications and adverse effects on the mother's and infants' health during and after pregnancy. Women also have a higher prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) related to the hyperglycemic status during pregnancy. However, the exact pathophysiological mechanism is still uncertain. We conducted a narrative review discussing the impact of GDM on the women's pelvic floor and performed image assessment using three-dimensional ultrasonography to evaluate and predict future UI.


Resumo O diabetes gestacional (DG)é uma entidade com nuances conceituais em evolução que merecem total consideração. O DG leva a complicações e efeitos adversos na saúde da mãe e do bebê durante e após a gravidez. As mulheres também apresentam maior prevalência de incontinência urinária (IU) relacionada ao estado hiperglicêmico durante a gravidez. No entanto, o mecanismo fisiopatológico exato ainda é incerto. Realizamos uma revisão narrativa discutindo o impacto do DG no assoalho pélvico das mulheres e utilizamos o exame de ultrassonografia tridimensional para avaliar e predizer a ocorrência de IU.

El cáncer de próstata es una patología con alta prevalencia, la prostatectomía radical es la técnica quirúrgica utilizada y la disfunción eréctil es una de las secuelas más frecuentes de ésta. En la actualidad existen diferentes intervenciones en el manejo de la disfunción eréctil. La literatura refiere como tratamiento de primera línea el uso de inhibidores de la fosfodiesterasa-5, también se describe que el uso de terapia física podría potenciar la mejora de la disfunción eréctil en conjunto con el tratamiento farmacológico. Objetivo. Identificar y describir la evidencia científica disponible referente a la efectividad de la terapia física en pacientes con disfunción eréctil posterior a una prostatectomía. Métodos. Se realizó una búsqueda en Pubmed, LILACS, Cochrane Library, de artículos publicados entre el 2012 y 2022. Se seleccionaron los relacionados con los efectos de la terapia física en la disfunción eréctil posterior a prostatectomía Resultados: En esta revisión se incluyeron 9 estudios. La mayoría demostró mejoras en la disfunción eréctil con la aplicación de la terapia de ondas de choque extracorpóreas de baja intensidad y entrenamiento muscular de piso pélvico, combinada con el tratamiento farmacológico. Conclusión. Debido a la alta prevalencia de la disfunción eréctil posterior a prostatectomía radical y a la escasa evidencia existente, se sugieren más investigaciones en el área, con diseños metodológicamente rigurosos, que incluyan un mayor tamaño de muestra y profundicen en la creación protocolos de rehabilitación y su posterior seguimiento.

ABSTRACT

Pelvic floor muscles play an important role in inner unit functioning related to excretion, reproduction, support of pelvic organs, posture, and respiration, while their weakening is a characteristic health problem for many women. The pelvic floor is closely related to women’s life events, and protection and strengthening of the pelvic floor in accordance with life stages will lead to the prevention of pelvic floor disorders (pelvic frailty). Pelvic floor muscle exercises may be the first choice for prevention, improvement, and/or conservative treatment of pelvic organ prolapse caused by weakening of pelvic floor muscle groups. Also, pelvic floor muscle exercises can be done on a daily and continuous basis as a fitness activity; but proper assessment and practice with appropriate methods are important. In addition, an integrated program that includes lifestyle modification can enhance its effectiveness. In order to realize the lifelong well-being of women, there is a need to further develop effective pelvic floor exercises in creating a more comprehensive prevention-care health system for society.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction Urinary incontinence (UI), fecal inconti-nence (FI), and genito-pelvic pain or penetration disorder (GPPPD) are considered pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD), and are mainly characterized by poor functionality of the pelvic floor muscles. Despite the relevance of these dysfunctions in women's lives, the demand for care is low. Objective To analyze the prevalence of PFD, in university women, and factors associated with PFD. Methods This is a cross-sectional study conducted at São Paulo State University, Marília, SP, Brazil, with undergraduate and/or postgraduate women aged over 18 years. An online questionnaire containing 40 open and multiple-choice questions about PFD was developed by the authors and a Google form was disclosed via social media (Facebook, Instagram) to the participants. The questionnaire was applied between April and July 2020. Results A sample of 707 participants was included. The average age was 22.5 ± 21.0 years old. The most prevalent PFD was GPPPD, reported by 30.7% of women, followed by UI (16.8%) and FI (3.2%). PFD was significant less reported in the Midwest region compared to other regions (p = 0.015) and significantly more prevalent in women who attended public university (p = 0.038), in women with UI, FI, and GPPPD. The association-test showed that attending public university showed association to UI (p < 0.001), FI (p = 0.008) and GPPPD (p = 0.006). In addition, parity showed association with GPPD (p = 0.032) and to attend health courses with UI (p = 0.002). Conclusion PFD is prevalent among university women and GPPPD was the most recurrent, followed by UI and FI. GPPPD was associated with parity and attending a public university. UI was associated with attending public university and health courses. FI was associated with attending a public university.


Resumo Introdução A incontinência urinária (IU), a incontinência fecal (IF) e a dor genitopélvica ou distúrbio de penetração (DGDP) são considerados disfunções do assoalho pélvico (DAP) e caracterizam-se principalmente pela má funcionalidade dos músculos do assoalho pélvico. Apesar da relevância dessas disfunções na vida das mulheres, a demanda por atendimento é baixa. Objetivo Analisar a prevalência das DAP em mulheres universitárias e fatores associados à DAP. Métodos Trata-se de um estudo transversal realizado na Universidade Estadual Paulista, Marília, SP, Brasil, com graduandas e/ou pós-graduandas maiores de 18 anos. Um questionário online contendo 40 questões abertas e de múltipla escolha sobre DAP foi desenvolvido pelos autores e um formulário do Google foi divulgado via mídia social (Facebook, Instagram) às participantes. O questionário foi aplicado entre abril e julho de 2020. Resultados Uma amostra de 707 participantes foi incluída. A média de idade foi de 22,5 ± 21 anos. A disfunção mais prevalente foi a DGDP, relatada por 30,7% das mulheres, seguida por IU (16,8%) e IF (3,2%). As características gerais não diferiram entre os grupos, mas no geral as disfunções foram significativamente menos relatadas na região Centro-Oeste em comparação com outras regiões (p = 0,015) e significativamente mais prevalente em mulheres que frequentaram universidade pública (p = 0,038) e em mulheres com IU, IF e DGDP. O teste de associação não demonstrou associação entre as disfunções e etnia, índice de massa corporal ou tipo de assistência à saúde. Além disso, frequentar universidade pública apresentou associação com IU (p < 0,001), IF (p= 0,008) e DGDP (p = 0,006). Além disso, a paridade mostrou-se associada à DGDP (p = 0,032) e frequentar cursos de saúde com IU (p = 0,002). Conclusão A disfunção do assoalho pélvico é prevalente entre as universitárias e a DGDP foi a mais recorrente, seguida de IU e IF. DGDP foi associado à paridade e a frequentar universidade pública. IU foi associada a frequentar universidade pública e a cursos da área da saúde. IF foi associada a frequentar universidade pública.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: Young women's knowledge about pelvic floor function and dysfunction are poor. Objective: To identify the level of knowledge of young women about pelvic floor muscles (PFM) anatomy and function, pelvic floor muscle dysfunction (PFMD), pelvic organ prolapse (POP), and sexual dysfunction (SD). Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. Two hundred forty-two (242) young women from first to the third year of high school from ten public schools, in geographically disparate areas of a Brazilian county serving economic minority student populations, participated in the study. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 20.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). The categorical data were expressed as absolute and relative frequency. Results: Only 28% of the young women knew PFM, and 26% answered to be able to contract these muscles. The prevalence of urinary incontinence was 16%, while 5% reported fecal incontinence. The previous knowledge about POP was similar between bladder and uterus prolapse, 34% and 40%, respectively. SD was known by 48% of the young women. Seventy-seven young women (31.8%) declared to have had sexual intercourse. Ten percent declared difficulties to allow vaginal penetration, and 48% of those who were able to have penetration declared that they experienced pain and discomfort. Conclusion: Young women have little knowledge about the PFM anatomy and function, PFMD, POP, and SD. In addition, they have complaints related to sexual practice, such as difficulty during vaginal penetration and pain.


Resumo Introdução: O conhecimento de mulheres jovens sobre a função e disfunção do assoalho pélvico é insuficiente. Objetivo: Identificar o nível de conhecimento de mulheres jovens sobre a anatomia e função dos músculos do assoalho pélvico (MAP), disfunção dos músculos do assoalho pélvico (DMAP), prolapso de órgãos pélvicos (POP) e disfunção sexual (DS). Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal. Participaram dos estudo 242 mulheres jovens do primeiro ao terceiro ano do ensino médio de dez escolas públicas, em áreas geograficamente díspares de um município brasileiro que atende a populações de estudantes de minorias econômicas. A análise dos dados foi realizada usando SPSS 20.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). Os dados categóricos foram expressos em frequência absoluta e relativa. Resultados: Apenas 28% das mulheres jovens conheciam os MAP e 26% responderam ser capazes de contrair esses músculos. A prevalência de incontinência urinária foi de 16%, enquanto 5% relataram incontinência fecal. O conhecimento prévio sobre POP foi semelhante entre o prolapso de bexiga e útero, 34% e 40%, respectivamente. De todas as mulheres jovens avaliadas, 48% tinham conhecimento sobre DS. Setenta e sete (31,8%) declararam ter vivenciado relação sexual, sendo que 10% destas declararam dificuldade para permitir a penetração vaginal e 48% das que conseguiam ter penetração declararam sentir dor e desconforto. Conclusão: Mulheres jovens apresentam pouco conhecimento sobre a anatomia e função dos MAP, sobre as DMAP, POP e sobre as DS. Além disso, apresentam queixas relacionadas à prática sexual, como dificuldade durante a penetração vaginal e dor.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: Sexual health is an important area of women's health, comprising aspects that can be affected by stressors, such as in the COVID-19 pandemic scenario. Objective: To investigate genital self-image, sexual function and pelvic floor discomfort in young female university students during the COVID-19 pandemic, comparing these factors with their sexual activity. Methods: This study is a quantitative and cross-sectional survey of young female university students during the COVID-19 pandemic period, carried out through an online form. To assess the variables, the Female Sexual Function Index, Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory, and Female Genital Self-Image Scale were used. Results: 182 women participated in the study, and the general mean age was 22.06 ± 2.75 years. Sexually active women (n = 128) had significantly better genital self-image compared to inactive women (22.87 ± 2.92 vs. 20.85 ± 4.41; p = 0.004). Likewise, better genital self-image was also observed in women without sexual dysfunction (23.36 ± 2.72 vs. 21.11 ± 2.96; p < 0.001) and in those who reported fewer symptoms of pelvic floor discomfort (p = 0.014). Conclusion: A positive genital self-image was associated with fewer sexual dysfunctions, better sexual function, and fewer symptoms of pelvic floor discomfort. Furthermore, sexual activity is associated with a better genital self-image.


Resumo Introdução: A saúde sexual é uma área importante da saúde da mulher, compreendendo aspectos que podem ser afetados por estressores, como no cenário de pandemia da COVID-19. Objetivo: Investigar a autoimagem genital, função sexual e desconforto do assoalho pélvico em jovens universitárias durante a pandemia de COVID-19, comparando esses fatores com sua atividade sexual. Métodos: Este estudo é uma pesquisa quantitativa e transversal com jovens universitárias durante o período da pandemia de COVID-19, realizada por meio de formulário online. Para avaliar as variáveis, foram utilizados o Índice de Função Sexual Feminina, Inventário de Desconforto do Assoalho Pélvico e Escala de Autoimagem Genital Feminina. Resultados: Participaram do estudo 182 mulheres, com média de idade de 22,06 ± 2,75 anos. Mulheres sexualmente ativas (n = 128) apresentaram autoimagem genital significativamente melhor em comparação às mulheres inativas (22,87 ± 2,92 vs. 20,85 ± 4,41; p = 0,004). Da mesma forma, melhor autoimagem genital também foi observada em mulheres sem disfunção sexual (23,36 ± 2,72 vs. 21,11 ± 2,96; p < 0,001) e naquelas que relataram menos sintomas de desconforto do assoalho pélvico (p = 0,014). Conclusão: Uma autoimagem genital positiva foi associada a menos disfunções sexuais, melhor função sexual e menos sintomas de desconforto do assoalho pélvico.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture associated with pelvic floor muscle training for the control of urinary incontinence following radical prostatectomy. Method: Open-label, parallel randomized clinical trial. The intervention group (n = 33) underwent eight sessions of systemic acupuncture associated with pelvic floor muscle training and the control group (n = 31) performed only pelvic floor muscle training. The outcome variable was urinary incontinence assessed by the Pad Test and Daily Pad Used, before treatment (T0), after four weeks (T1) and after eight weeks of treatment (T2). Data analysis was performed using a longitudinal model of Generalized Estimating Equations, significance level of 0.05. Results: The control group showed greater urinary loss compared to the intervention group at T1 (p = 0.006) and at T2 (p < 0.001). Both groups showed improvement in the level of urinary incontinence over time, but the improvement was greater in the intervention group (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Acupuncture associated with pelvic floor muscle training was effective in reducing urinary incontinence in prostatectomized men. Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials:RBR-3jm5y2


RESUMEN Objetivo: evaluar la efectividad de la acupuntura asociada al entrenamiento muscular de piso pélvico para el control de la incontinencia urinaria post-prostatectomía radical. Método: ensayo clínico aleatorizado paralelo, del tipo abierto. El grupo intervención (n = 33) fue sometido a ocho sesiones de acupuntura sistémica asociada al entrenamiento muscular de piso pélvico y el grupo control (n = 31) solamente al entrenamiento muscular de piso pélvico. La variable desfecho fue incontinencia urinaria evaluada por el Pad Test y Daily Pad Used, antes del tratamiento (T0), después de cuatro semanas (T1) y después de ocho semanas de tratamiento (T2). El análisis de datos fue realizado por modelo longitudinal de Ecuaciones de Estimaciones Generalizadas, nivel de significancia de 0,05. Resultados: el grupo control presentó mayor pérdida urinaria en comparación al grupo intervención en T1 (p = 0,006) y en T2 (p < 0,001). Ambos grupos presentaron mejor nivel de incontinencia urinaria a lo largo del tiempo, sin embargo la mejora fue mayor en el grupo intervención (p < 0,001). Conclusión: la acupuntura asociada al entrenamiento muscular de piso pélvico fue efectiva para la reducción de la incontinencia urinaria en hombres prostatectomizados.

ABSTRACT

A disfunção do assoalho pélvico envolve condições nosológicas, como incontinência urinária e disfunção sexual, com impacto negativo na qualidade de vida. O presente estudo objetivou avaliar a força muscular do assoalho pélvico de mulheres com disfunção pélvica. Trata-se de desenho analítico transversal realizado com uma amostra de conveniência de 167 mulheres com queixas de disfunções musculares do assoalho pélvico. Foram analisadas características sociodemográficas e clínicas, qualidade de vida relacionada à incontinência e força muscular pélvica. Estatísticas univariadas e bivariadas foram calculadas. A idade média das mulheres foi de 50,2 anos. A maioria foi classificada com impacto muito grave (76,6%) na qualidade de vida relacionada à incontinência, 41 (24,6%) apresentaram contração muscular não sustentada e 7 (4,2%) apresentaram contração. Associações significativas foram identificadas entre força muscular pélvica e idade (p = 0,025), menopausa (p = 0,039) e histerectomia (p = 0,026). A pesquisa permitiu concluir que os fatores de risco responsáveis por problemas no assoalho pélvico podem ser considerados cruciais para avaliar o nível de impacto da incontinência urinária e sua evolução como resultado de intervenções precoces, simples e de baixo custo na atenção primária à saúde. As disfunções do assoalho pélvico afetam negativa e substancialmente a qualidade de vida das mulheres. (AU)


Pelvic floor dysfunction involves nosological conditions, such as urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction, which have a negative impact on quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate pelvic floor muscle strength of women with pelvic dysfunction. This is an analytical cross-sectional performed design with a convenience sample of 167 women with complaints of pelvic floor muscle dysfunctions. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, quality of life related to incontinence and pelvic muscle strength were analyzed. Univariate and bivariate statistics were calculated. The mean age of women was 50.2 years. Most were classified having a very severe impact (76.6%) on incontinencerelated quality of life, 41 (24.6%) presented non-sustained muscle contraction and 7 (4.2%) presented in contraction. Significant associations were identified between pelvic muscle strength and age (p = 0.025), menopause (p = 0.039) and hysterectomy (p = 0.026). This study allowed us to conclude that the risk factors responsible for pelvic floor problems can be considered crucial to assess the level of impact of urinary incontinence and its evolution as a result of early, simple and low cost interventions in primary health care. Pelvic floor dysfunctions affect negatively and substantially the quality of life of women. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A incontinência urinária é uma disfunção do assoalho pélvico e acomete mulheres das mais variadas idades. A atividade física tem diversos benefícios, no entanto o assoalho pélvico pode ser a única área do corpo em que seu efeito positivo pode ser questionado. O CrossFit® é um programa de treinamento de alto impacto que envolve exercícios aeróbicos e anaeróbicos. Esta atividade possui um caráter motivacional e desafiador e vem ganhando milhões de adeptos no mundo todo. Objetivo: Revisar os estudos publicados nos últimos 5 anos a respeito das disfunções do assoalho pélvico em atletas praticantes de CrossFit®. Métodos: Revisão integrativa de literatura realizada através de pesquisa nas bases de dados Pubmed, Bireme (Lilacs, Medline, Scielo), Science Direct e PeDro, entre os anos de 2015 a 2020. Resultados: Foram incluídos 6 artigos aplicáveis aos critérios de elegibilidade. A população estudada são mulheres de 16 a 75 anos, praticantes de CrossFit®. Na avaliação metodológica, os estudos foram considerados fracos a moderados e apenas um forte. Conclusão: Como principais achados deste estudo, observou-se uma prevalência significativa de IU em praticantes de CrossFit®; essa disfunção parece estar relacionada a um atraso na ativação da musculatura pélvica quando exigida durante os exercícios. (AU)


Introduction: Urinary Incontinence is a pelvic floor dysfunction and affects women of all ages. Physical activity has several benefits; however, the pelvic floor may be the only area of the body in which its positive effect can be questioned. CrossFit® is a training program of high impact that involves aerobic and anaerobic exercises. This activity has a motivational and challenging character and has been gaining millions of followers worldwide. Objective: To review the studies published in the last 5 years regarding pelvic floor dysfunctions in athletes practicing CrossFit®. Methods: Integrative literature review carried out by searching the Pubmed, Bireme (Lilacs, Medline, Scielo), Science Direct and PeDro databases, between the years 2015 to 2020. Results: 6 articles applicable to the eligibility criteria were included. The studied population are women aged 16 to 75 years practicing CrossFit®. In the methodological evaluation, the studies were considered weak to moderate and only one strong. Conclusion: This study observed a significant prevalence of urinary incontinence in CrossFit® practitioners; this dysfunction seems to be related to a delay in the activation of the pelvic muscles when required during exercises.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a função e pressão de contração dos Músculos do Assoalho Pélvico (MAP) e a prevalência de Incontinência Urinária (IU) em universitárias. Realizou-se um estudo transversal, com universitárias entre 18 e 35 anos, nulíparas, que já tiveram relação sexual e que nunca realizaram tratamento fisioterapêutico para Disfunções dos Músculos do Assoalho Pélvico (DMAP). Todas as voluntárias realizaram a anamnese, responderam aos questionários international consultation on incontinence questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF) e incontinence severity index questionaire (ISI-Q), e realizaram avaliação da função e manometria dos MAP. Foi utilizado o teste de Shapiro-Wilk e os valores da amostra são expressos em medianas, intervalos interquartílicos, frequências absolutas e relativas. Foram avaliadas 35 mulheres, das quais 65,72% apresentaram tônus normal, mas apenas 5,71% realizavam a contração adequada dos MAP, com medianas baixas para todas as etapas do PERFECT e na manometria dos MAP. A prevalência de IU foi 57,14%, sendo a Incontinência Urinária de Urgência (IUU) a queixa mais prevalente (50%) e com severidade moderada (55%). Este estudo permitiu identificar déficit na função dos MAP e altos índices de IU em universitárias, demostrando a importância de conscientizar esse público sobre essa DMAP.


RESUMEN El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la función y presión de contracción de los músculos del suelo pélvico (MSP) y la prevalencia de incontinencia urinaria (IU) en estudiantes universitarias. Se realizó un estudio transversal, con estudiantes universitarias entre 18 y 35 años, nulíparas, que ya habían tenido relaciones sexuales y que nunca se sometieron a tratamiento fisioterapéutico para las disfunciones musculares del suelo pélvico (DMSP). Todas las voluntarias realizaron anamnesis, respondieron al cuestionario de consulta internacional sobre incontinencia - formulario corto (ICIQ-SF) y al cuestionario de índice de severidad de la incontinencia (ISI-Q), y realizaron la evaluación de la función y la manometría de los MSP. Se utilizó la prueba de Shapiro-Wilk, y los valores muestrales se expresan en medianas, rangos intercuartílicos, frecuencias absolutas y relativas. Se evaluaron a 35 mujeres, de las cuales el 65,72% tenía tono normal, pero solo el 5,71% realizó la adecuada contracción de los MSP, con medianas bajas para todos los estadios de PERFECT y en la manometría de los MSP. La prevalencia de IU fue del 57,14%, siendo la incontinencia urinaria urgente (IUU) la queja más prevalente (50%) y de gravedad moderada (55%). Este estudio permitió identificar déficits en el papel de los MSP y altas tasas de IU en estudiantes universitarias, demostrando la importancia de concienciar a este público sobre el DMSP.


ABSTRACT This study evaluated the function and pressure of contraction of the Pelvic Floor Muscles (PFM) and the prevalence of Urinary Incontinence (UI) in university students. A cross-sectional study was conducted with nulliparous university students between 18 and 35 years old, who had already had sexual intercourse and never underwent physical therapy treatment for Pelvic Floor Muscle Disorders (PFMD). All volunteers underwent anamnesis, answered the International Consultation on incontinence questionnaire short form (ICIQ-SF) and the incontinence severity index questionnaire (ISI-Q), and had their PFM function and manometry evaluated. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used and the sample values are expressed in medians, interquartile ranges, absolute and relative frequencies. A total of 35 women were evaluated, 65.72% of whom had normal muscle tone, but only 5.71% performed adequate contraction of the PFM, with low medians for all stages of PERFECT and in the manometry of the PFM. The prevalence of UI was 57.14%, with Urgent Urinary Incontinence (UUI) being the most prevalent complaint (50%) and having moderate severity (55%). This study allowed to identify deficits in the role of PFM and high rates of UI in College Women, demonstrating the importance of making this public aware of this PFMD.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To speculate the effect of birth spacing on the pelvic floor type Ⅰ and Ⅱ fiber muscle strength of postpartum women with parities of two in different delivery modes.Methods:Totally 2 361 parturients who were investigated in Xuzhou Central Hospital from June 2016 to December 2020 were included in the questionnaire, clinical examination and pelvic floor surface electromyography assessment. According to the interval years between two parities and the pelvic floor typeⅠ and Ⅱ fiber muscle strength under different modes of delivery, curve fitting function equation was performed using curve regression method. The accuracy of the equation was verified by the receiver operating characteristic curve and the maximum area under the curve, and calculating the relative error rate.Results:A total of 2 357 parturients were included in the study and were divided into 4 groups based on delivery modes, women with both normal vaginal delivery were assigned to group A (589 cases); women with a first vaginal delivery and a second cesarean section were assigned to group B (480 cases); women with both cesarean deliveries were assigned to group C (1 273 cases); women with a first cesarean section and a second vaginal delivery were assigned to group D (15 cases). All of the curve fitting results were quadratic curves, and the appropriate interval years were selected when the muscle strength of type Ⅰ muscle fibers was>35 μV and that of type Ⅱ muscle fibers was>40 μV: 6-8 years in the group A, 5-10 years in the group B, and 1-11 years in the group C. The peak values of the quadratic curve were as follows: 7-8 years in the group A, 7-8 years in the group B, and 6 years in the group C. The maximum area under the curve of the function equations were all>0.6 (all P<0.05), the average relative error rate was 4.909%. Conclusions:The pelvic floor function of postpartum women with parities of two increases firstly and then decreases over time, showing a quadratic curve shape. In order to protect the pelvic floor function, the appropriate interval of birth spacing is 6-8 years.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: El prolapso de órganos pélvicos es infrecuente durante el embarazo y se asocia principalmente a mujeres multíparas. Dado que la población gestante no es la ideal para manejo quirúrgico, los pesarios son útiles para controlar los síntomas con pocos efectos adversos y contraindicaciones. Por su baja incidencia, la información reportada en la literatura se deriva de reportes de caso y las recomendaciones se extrapolan de pacientes no embarazadas. METODOLOGÍA: Revisión de la literatura y exposición de casos. Resultados: Se exponen cuatro casos de gestantes con prolapso de órganos pélvicos manejadas exitosamente con pesarios hasta el final de la gestación sin presentar complicaciones serias. CONCLUSIONES: Los pesarios son un método seguro y eficaz para el manejo de síntomas de prolapsos de órganos pélvicos durante el embarazo.


INTRODUCTION: Pelvic organ prolapse is rare during pregnancy and is associated to women with multiple vaginal child births. Pregnant women are not ideal candidates for surgical management of prolapse, making pessaries useful for symptom control with few adverse effects. Due to its low incidence, information reported in literature is derived from case reports and recommendations are extrapolated from non-pregnant patients. METHODOLOGY: Literature review and presentation of cases. RESULTS: Four cases of pregnant women with pelvic organ prolapse successfully managed with pessaries until the end of pregnancy without presenting serious complications are described. Conclusions: Pessaries are a safe and effective way to treat symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse during pregnancy.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Pelvic floor rehabilitation aims to address perineal functional and anatomic alterations as well as thoraco-abdominal mechanic dysfunctions leading to procto-urologic diseases like constipation, fecal and urinary incontinence, and pelvic pain. They require a multidimensional approach, with a significant impact on patients quality of life. An exhaustive clinical and instrumental protocol to assess defecation disorders should include clinical and instrumental evaluation as well as several clinical/physiatric parameters. All these parameters must be considered in order to recognize and define any potential factor playing a role in the functional aspects of incontinence, constipation and pelvic pain. After such evaluation, having precisely identified any thoraco-abdomino-perineal anatomic and functional alterations, a pelvi-perineal rehabilitation program can be carried out to correct the abovementioned alterations and to obtain clinical improvement. The success of the rehabilitative process is linked to several factors such as a careful evaluation of the patient, aimed to select the most appropriate and specific targeted rehabilitative therapy, the therapist's scrupulous hard work, especially as regards the patient's emotional and psychic state, and finally the patient's compliance in undertaking the therapy itself, especially at home. These factors may deeply influence the overall outcomes of the rehabilitative therapies, ranging from "real" success to illusion "myth".


RESUMO A reabilitação do assoalho pélvico visa abordar alterações funcionais e anatômicas perineais, bem como disfunções mecânicas torácicas-abdominais que levam a doenças procto-urológicas como prisão de ventre, incontinência fecal e urinária e dor pélvica. Requerem uma abordagem multidimensional, com impacto significativo na qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Um protocolo clínico e instrumental exaustivo para avaliar os transtornos de defecação deve incluir avaliação clínica e instrumental, bem como diversos parâmetros clínicos/fisiátricos. Todos esses parâmetros devem ser considerados para reconhecer e definir qualquer fator potencial desempenhando um papel nos aspectos funcionais da incontinência, prisão de ventre e dor pélvica. Após tal avaliação, tendo identificado com precisão quaisquer alterações anatômicas e funcionais tóraco-abdomino-perineais, um programa de reabilitação pelvi-perineal pode ser realizado para corrigir as alterações acima mencionadas e obter melhora clínica. O sucesso do processo de reabilitação está ligado a diversos fatores, como uma avaliação cuidadosa do paciente, visando selecionar a terapia de reabilitação direcionada mais adequada e específica, além do trabalho árduo e escrupuloso do terapeuta, especialmente no que diz respeito ao estado emocional e psíquico do paciente e, finalmente, a conformidade do paciente em realizar a terapia em si, especialmente em casa. Esses fatores podem influenciar profundamente os resultados globais das terapias de reabilitação, que vão desde o sucesso "real" até o "mito" ilusório.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Current evidence suggests the presence of motility or functional abnormalities in one area of the gastrointestinal tract increases the likelihood of abnormalities in others. However, the relationship of gastroparesis to chronic constipation (slow transit constipation and dyssynergic defecation) has been incompletely evaluated. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the records of all patients with chronic dyspeptic symptoms and constipation who underwent both a solid gastric emptying scintigraphy and a high-resolution anorectal manometry at our institution since January 2012. When available, X-ray defecography and radiopaque marker colonic transit studies were also reviewed. Based on the gastric emptying results, patients were classified as gastroparesis or dyspepsia with normal gastric emptying (control group). Differences in anorectal and colonic findings were then compared between groups. RESULTS: Two hundred and six patients met the inclusion criteria. Patients with gastroparesis had higher prevalence of slow transit constipation by radiopaque marker study compared to those with normal emptying (64.7% vs 28.1%, P = 0.013). Additionally, patients with gastroparesis had higher rates of rectocele (88.9% vs 60.0%, P = 0.008) and intussusception (44.4% vs 12.0%, P = 0.001) compared to patients with normal emptying. There was no difference in the rate of dyssynergic defecation between those with gastroparesis vs normal emptying (41.1% vs 42.1%, P = 0.880), and no differences in anorectal manometry findings. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with gastroparesis had a higher rate of slow transit constipation, but equal rates of dyssynergic defecation compared to patients with normal gastric emptying. These findings argue for investigation of possible delayed colonic transit in patients with gastroparesis and vice versa.
