ABSTRACT
Introdução: O assoalho pélvico tem como objetivo sustentar órgãos internos, principalmente o útero, a bexiga e o reto, porém qualquer alteração na cavidade pélvica pode resultar em disfunção dessa região e descida patológica dos órgãos, características dos prolapsos genitais. A fisioterapia melhora os sintomas relacionados ao prolapso genital, bem como a força muscular do assoalho. Objetivo: Identificar os procedimentos fisioterapêuticos mais utilizados e de melhor eficácia comprovada no tratamento dos prolapsos. Métodos: Foi realizado um levantamento de artigos científicos e teses em bancos de dados, nos quais foram encontrados 716 estudos. Destes, 9 foram selecionados, sendo 3 do tipo ensaio clínico randomizado controlado, 1 quaseexperimental do tipo antes e depois e 5 do tipo revisão, publicados nos últimos 20 anos e relacionados ao tema proposto. Resultados: Participaram dos estudos clínicos 430 mulheres no total, que foram submetidas a intervenções como: cinesioterapia, exercícios hipopressivos e eletroestimulação transvaginal. Os estudos de revisão mencionam os efeitos do biofeedback e da cinesioterapia no manejo dos prolapsos. Conclusão: Das abordagens analisadas a cinesioterapia e os exercícios hipopressivos são os mais efetivos para o tratamento do prolapso genital, porém mais estudos são necessários para avaliar o real impacto desses recursos.

Introduction: The pelvic floor is intended to support internal organs, especially the uterus, bladder and rectum. However, any alteration in the pelvic cavity may result in dysfunction of the pelvic floor and pathological falling of the organs, characteristic of genital prolapses. Physical therapy improves symptoms related to genital prolapse as well as muscle strength of the floor. Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the most widely used physiotherapeutic procedures with proven efficacy in the treatment of prolapses. Methods: A survey of scientific articles and theses in databases was carried out, in which 716 studies were found. Of these, 9 were selected, 3 of which were randomized controlled clinical trials, 1 quasi-experimental and 5 reviews, published in the last 20 years. Results: A total of 430 women participated in the clinical studies, who underwent interventions such as: kinesiotherapy, hipopressive exercises and transvaginal electrostimulation. The review studies mention the effects of biofeedback and kinesiotherapy in the management of prolapses. Conclusion: From the approaches analyzed kinesiotherapy and hipopressive exercises are the most effective for the treatment of genital prolapse, but more studies are necessary to evaluate the real impact of these resources.

INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVOS: El prolapso genital afecta hasta al 50% de las mujeres a nivel mundial, su calidad de vida, percepción corporal y vida sexual. A las pacientes de edad avanzada frecuentemente les ofrecemos técnicas quirúrgicas obliterativas para su manejo. El objetivo fue evaluar los resultados de las técnicas obliterativas basados en nuestra experiencia local. MÉTODOS: análisis retrospectivo de pacientes tratadas con técnicas obliterativas en nuestro hospital entre los años 2008 y 2016. RESULTADOS: se incluyeron 78 pacientes, la edad promedio fue de 74.5 años, 11.5% de las pacientes presentaba comorbilidad de mayor riesgo quirúrgico, 24% eran pacientes histerectomizadas por prolapso y 30.8% presentaba incontinencia de orina al momento de la cirugía. El tiempo quirúrgico promedio fue 52 minutos, 73.1% de las cirugías fueron con técnica de LeFort y 5.1% presentó complicaciones postquirúrgicas precoces. Se contactaron telefónicamente 59 pacientes, 90% refirió mejor calidad de vida, 92% satisfacción con la cirugía, 3.4% recidiva del prolapso y 44% incontinencia urinaria, en su mayoría moderada o severa. La recidiva reportada estuvo acorde a lo reportado en la literatura, pero la incontinencia de orina reportada fue muy alta respecto a lo reportado y de predominio de urgencias. CONCLUSIÓN: las técnicas obliterativas son efectivas en el tratamiento quirúrgico del prolapso y el principal problema postquirúrgico a largo plazo asociado fue la incontinencia de orina de urgencias.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Genital prolapse affects up to 50% of women worldwide, their quality of life, body perception and sex life. For older patients, we often offer obliterative surgical techniques to manage it. The objective was to evaluate the results of the obliterative techniques based on our local experience. METHODS: retrospective analysis of patients treated with obliterative techniques in our hospital between 2008 y 2016. RESULTS: 78 patients were included, with an average age of 74.5 years, 11.5% of the patients had comorbidities of high surgical risk, 24% were previously hysterectomized because of genital prolapse and 30.8% had urinary incontinence at the time of the surgery. Average surgical time was 52 minutes, 73.1% of the surgeries were performed with the LeFort technique and 5.1% presented early postoperative complications. 59 patients were contacted by telephone, 90% reported better quality of life, 92% were satisfied with the surgery, 3.4% had recurrence of the prolapse and 44% reported urinary incontinence, mostly moderate or severe. The reported relapse was in line with what was reported in the literature, but the reported urinary incontinence was very high compared to what was reported, and was predominantly urge incontinence. CONCLUSION: obliterative techniques are effective in the surgical treatment of genital prolapse and the main long term problem after surgery was urge incontinence.

Abstract Introduction Vaginal pessary is used as a conservative treatment for pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Some studies have shown that common complaints of its use may include vaginal discomfort and increased vaginal discharge. Scant information is available about the microflora status after using this device. Objective To determine if the usage of vaginal pessary can interfere with the vaginal environment. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed from March of 2014 to July of 2015 including 90 women with POP. The study group was composed of 45 women users of vaginal pessary and 45 nom-users. All enrolled women answered a standardized questionnaire and were subjected to a gynecological exam to collect vaginal samples for microbiological evaluation under optic microscopy. Clinical and microbiological data were compared between study and control groups. Results Vaginal discharge was confirmed in 84% of the study group versus 62.2% in the control group (p< 0.01); itching was reported in 20 and 2.2%, respectively (p< .05); genital ulcers were only found in the pessary group (20%). There was no difference with regard to the type of vaginal flora. Bacterial vaginosis was prevalent in the study group (31.1% study group versus 22.2% control group), (p=.34). Conclusion Women using vaginal pessaries for POP treatment presented more vaginal discharge, itching and genital ulcers than non-users.
Resumo Introdução O pessário vaginal é utilizado como tratamento conservador para o prolapso de órgãos pélvicos (POP). Alguns estudos demonstraram que as queixas mais comuns do seu uso são o desconforto vaginal e um aumento do fluxo vaginal. As informações são escassas a respeito do que ocorre com a microflora vaginal após o uso do pessário. Objetivo Determinar se o uso do pessário pode interferir com o ambiente vaginal. Métodos Um estudo transversal realizado de março de 2014 a julho de 2015 com 90 mulheres com POP; metade delas usaram pessário e a outra metade permaneceu como grupo controle. Todas preencheram um questionário e realizaram exame ginecológico para coleta de amostras vaginais para análise microbiológica. Dados clínicos e microbiológicos foram comparados entre os grupos de estudo e de controle. Resultados O fluxo vaginal foi confirmado em 84% das mulheres do grupo de estudo versus 62,2% do grupo de controle (p< 0,01); prurido foi encontrado em 20 e 2,2%, respectivamente (p< 0,05). As úlceras genitais foram somente encontradas no grupo pessário (20%). Não houve diferenças com relação ao tipo de flora vaginal. A vaginose bacteriana fora encontrada em 31,1% das mulheres do grupo de estudo versus 22,2% do grupo de controle (p= 0,34). Conclusão Mulheres usando pessários vaginais para tratamento do POP apresentaram maior fluxo vaginal, prurido e úlcera genital do que as não usuárias do dispositivo.

ABSTRACT
Una alternativa con algunas ventajas e iguales resultados en el manejo quirúrgico del prolapso genital total para la fijación de la cúpula al sacro por vía abdominal es la fijación de la cúpula al ligamento sacroespinoso. Objetivo: Evaluar los resultados del empleo de malla anterior y fijación al ligamento sacroespinoso en el prolapso genital total. Diseño: Estudio retrospectivo y descriptivo. Institución: Servicio de Ginecología Especializada, Hospital Nacional Edgardo Rebagliati Martins, EsSalud, Lima, Perú. Participantes: Mujeres con diagnóstico de prolapso genital total. Método: Revisión retrospectiva de 12 pacientes con diagnóstico de prolapso genital total y que tuvieron cirugía reconstructiva pélvica con empleo de malla anterior y fijación al ligamento sacroespinoso. Principales medidas de resultados: Resultados de las técnicas. Resultados: La edad promedio fue 64 años. La comorbilidad principal fue la obesidad. La histerectomía abdominal fue el antecedente quirúrgico más frecuente. Se realizó histerectomía vaginal más colocación de malla anterior con fijación al ligamento sacroespinoso a tres pacientes, solo malla anterior con fijación sacroespinosa a cuatro pacientes, malla anterior con fijación sacroespinosa y malla transobturatiz (TOT) a tres pacientes, histerectomía vaginal con malla anterior, fijación sacroespinosa y TOT a dos pacientes. Como complicaciones hubo extrusión de malla en un paciente; dos pacientes a las que no se colocó TOT presentaron incontinencia de orina al esfuerzo, una urgencia miccional nueva, una dispareunia; dos pacientes presentaron granuloma de sutura y una refirió dolor pélvico inespecífico, síntomas que evolucionaron favorablemente. La evaluación del prolapso genital después de la cirugía no fue mayor de grado I. Conclusiones: Al fijar el compartimento apical al sacroespinoso mediante el uso de TOT y de la malla anterior garantizó que no se presentara incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo, recidiva o aparición de defectos del compartimiento anterior.
Changes in the population pyramid result in more adult female population consulting for pelvic floor dysfunction. Objective: To evaluate results of severe genital prolapse reconstructive pelvic surgery by anterior prosthesis with sacrospinous ligament fixation. Design: Retrospective and descriptive study. Setting: Specialized Gynecology Service, Hospital Nacional Edgardo Rebagliati Martins, EsSalud, Lima, Peru. Participants: Women with diagnosis of total genital prolapse. Method: A retrospective study of 12 patients admitted for genital prolapse and desire to retain vaginal function and having reconstructive pelvic surgery with mesh fixed to the sacrospinous ligament. Main outcome measures: Results of techniques used. Results: Average age was 64 years (range 56-75). Main comorbidity was obesity (body mass index 29.1). Patient's main complaint was a feeling of lump in genitalia in 91 Ofo, and most had had abdominal hysterectomy. Vaginal hysterectomy plus anterior mesh (Perigee) with sacrospinous fixation was performed in 3 patients, only anterior mesh with sacrospinous fixation in 4 patients, anterior mesh with sacrospinous fixation and trans-obturator tape (Mona re) - TOT- in 3 patients, vaginal hysterectomy with anterior mesh (Perigee), sacrospinous fixation and trans-obturator tape (Mona re) in two patients. Complications included mesh extrusion in one patient, two patients without TOT had stress urinary incontinence, one presented urinary urgency, one dyspareunia, two patients had granuloma in the suture area, and one referred nonspecific pelvic pain; symptoms were not present in subsequent vlsits, and vaginal prolapse was not over grade I. Conclusions: The use of TOT and anterior mesh resulted in cure of urinary stress incontinence and no recurrence of defects when the apical anterior compartment was fixed to the sacrospinous ligament.
ABSTRACT
INTRODUCCIÓN: La colposacropexia por vía abdominal abierta (CSPA) es el gold standard para el tratamiento del prolapso de la cúpula vaginal (PCV). OBJETIVO: Mostrar nuestra experiencia, en un Hospital de mediana complejidad, en los primeros siete casos sometidos a un CSPA, reportando las complicaciones intra y post operatorias. MÉTODO: Se realizó un estudio prospectivo descriptivo en nuestras siete primeras pacientes portadoras de un prolapso de cúpula vaginal estadio III o IV (POP-Q) sintomáticas, sin incontinencia urinaria y sometidas a una CSPA, con una malla mixta en el Servicio de Obstetricia y Ginecología del Hospital de Quilpué. RESULTADOS: Se reclutaron 7 pacientes. Ninguna de ellas presentaba complicaciones con riesgo vital peri-operatorio, en un período de seguimiento de 33 meses. En el 100% de las pacientes se logró cura objetiva definida como un POP-Q estadio 0 o I, y buena calidad de vida según el Cuestionario de Impacto del Piso Pélvico (PFIQ-7, versión validada en español). Durante el seguimiento, sólo una paciente presentó exposición asintomática de 5 mm de la malla, resuelta con su resección por vía vaginal. Ninguna paciente requirió de una cirugía por prolapso de órganos pélvicos después de la CSPA. CONCLUSIÓN: Los resultados obtenidos concuerdan con la literatura. La CSPA sigue siendo el gold standard para el tratamiento del PCV, no siendo superada por el momento, por ninguna otra técnica, incluso la colposacropexia laparoscópica. Estimamos que el uso de mallas parcialmente reabsorbibles pueden disminuir la exposición de mallas, sin embargo se requieren de más estudios.
INTRODUCTION: The abdominal sacral-colpopexy is currently considered the gold standard for the management of (CSPA) vaginal vault prolapse (PCV). OBJECTIVE: To report our surgical experience at a county hospital with our first seven abdominal sacral-colpopexy cases. Reporting intra and post-operative complications. METHODS: We conducted a prospective descriptive study involving our first seven cases of patients with symptomatic vaginal vault prolapse stage III or IV (POP-Q) without urinary incontinence. All patients were undergoing CSPA with a partially absorbable mesh in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at the Quilpué Hospital. RESULTS: Seven patients were recruited. None of them presented a life threatening complication during a mean follow up period of 33 months. A hundred percent of patients achieved objetive cure defined as POP-Q stage 0 or I and subjective cure defined as a significant improvement in a validated questionnaire (PFIQ-7 spanish version). During patients follow up, only one patient had an asymptomatic 5 mm mesh exposure, resolved with a vaginal resection. None of the patients required surgery for pelvic organ prolapse after the CSPA. CONCLUSION: These results are in agreement with the international literature. The CSPA continues to be the gold standard for the PCV treatment of vaginal vault prolapse and has not been surpassed by either vaginal technique or the laparoscopic sacral-colpopexy. We believe that the use of partially reabsorbable meshes can decrease the rate of mesh exposure, however further studies are required.

Objetivos: Demostrar la importancia de reducir el prolapso de grado alto (POPQ >+3) en la evaluación clínica y urodinamia, buscando la presencia de incontinencia urinaria oculta; y planear el tratamiento de ambas patologías (prolapso e incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo - IUE) en el mismo acto quirúrgico para evitar la IUE después de la corrección solo del prolapso. Diseño: Estudio retrospectivo y descriptivo. Institución: Urología, Clínica San Pablo, Sede Surco, Lima Perú. Participantes: Mujeres con prolapso genital. Intervenciones: Entre julio de 2009 y junio 2012, a 40 pacientes entre 43 y 78 años (edad media de 62,9 años), con prolapso genital grado III y IV, se les redujo el prolapso con gasas, tanto en la evaluación clínica como en el estudio urodinámico (clasificación IUE, según la Sociedad Internacional de Continencia - SIC). Principales medidas de resultados: Incontinencia oculta. Resultados: Se encontró 19 pacientes (47,5%) con incontinencia oculta diagnosticada en la evaluación clínica. El grado del prolapso evaluado, de acuerdo al POP-Q, fue +III en 14 (73,7%), +IV en 5 (26,3%); el tipo de IUE según la SIC fue I en 11 (57,9%), II en 7 (36,9%) y III en 1 (5,2%); no hubo IUE tipo IV. Conclusiones: La reducción del prolapso de alto grado POPQ>+III debe ser hecha rutinariamente en la evaluación por el ginecólogo y uroginecólogo, y en la urodinamia, de manera de detectar la incontinencia oculta para la planificación de ambas patologías en un solo acto quirúrgico. De esta manera se evitará una segunda intervención para corrección de la IUE, así como los consecuentes problemas médicos-legales. No todos los pacientes con prolapso genital tienen incontinencia oculta.
Objectives: To demonstrate the importance of reducing the high grade vaginal prolapse (POPQ> +III) in clinical and urodynamic evaluation when determining the presence of occult stress urinary incontinence and planning treatment of both conditions (prolapse and stress urinary incontinence - SUI) in the same surgical procedure in order to avoid SUI following correction of prolapse alone. Design: Retrospective and descriptive study. Setting: Urology, Clinica San Pablo, Sede Surco, Lima, Peru. Participants: Women with genital prolapse. Interventions: Between July 2009 and June 2012, in 40 patients 43-78 year-old (median 62,9 years) genital prolapse grade III-IV was reduced with gauze during both clinical evaluation and urodynamic study (SUI classification according to Continence International Society - SIC). Main outcome measures: Occult stress incontinence. Results: During clinical evaluation occult urinary stress incontinence was found in 19 patients (47.5%). Degree of prolapse according to POP-Q was +III in 14 (73.7%), +IV in 5 (26.3%); SUI according to SIC was I in 11 (57.9%), II in 7 (36.9%) and III in 1 (5.2%); there was no SUI type IV. Conclusions: Reduction of high grade vaginal prolapse (POPQ> +III) must be done by the gynecologist and urogynecologist during both routine clinical evaluation and urodynamic evaluation in order to either detect occult incontinence, plan correction of both conditions in one surgical act, and avoid a second operation for SUI correction and resulting legal issues. Not all patients with vaginal prolapse present occult stress urinary incontinence.

Objetivo: comparar la función sexual (FS) de mujeres con prolapso genital (PG) antes y después de su reparación quirúrgica. Métodos: investigación de tipo comparativa y aplicada, con diseño cuasi experimental, prospectivo y de campo, donde se evaluó la FS de mujeres con diagnóstico de PG antes y después del tratamiento quirúrgico con técnicas convencionales, mediante el Cuestionario Sexual para Prolapso genital e Incontinencia Urinaria versión corta (PISQ-12). Resultados: al comparar la FS antes y después de la cirugía reparadora del PG, se determinó que tanto la puntuación total del PISQ-12 (15,90 +/- 6,51 vs. 32,17 +/- 3,62) como las puntuaciones de las dimensiones respuesta sexual (5,87 +/- 2,80 vs. 10,97 +/- 2,80) y limitaciones sexuales femeninas (4,88 +/- 3,90 vs. 16,77 +/- 3,00) fueron significativamente más altas luego de la intervención quirúrgica (p<0,001), a excepción del indicador intensidad del orgasmo (0,80 +/- 0,71 vs. 0,87+/- 0,73; p= 0,722) y la dimensión limitaciones sexuales de la pareja (4,37 +/- 2,14 vs. 3,56 +/- 2,70; p=0,815) donde sus puntuaciones antes y después del tratamiento quirúrgico no fueron estadísticamente significativas (p>0,05). Conclusiones: Lls mujeres con PG presentan una pobre FS, la cirugía reparadora del PG por técnicas convencionales mejoró significativamente la FS de las pacientes con disfunción del piso pélvico, permitiéndoles obtener a estas mujeres una vida sexual más placentera, con mejoría de su calidad de vida.
Objective: to compare sexual function (SF) of women with genital prolapse (GP) before and after surgical repair. Methods: this is a comparative and applied research with quasi-experimental, prospective and field design, which evaluated the SF of women diagnosed with PG before and after surgical treatment with conventional techniques, by the short version of the Prolapse and Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12). Results: when comparing the SF before and after surgical repair of GP, it was determined that both the total score of PIQS-12 (15.90 +/- 6.51 vs. 32.17 +/- 3.62) and the scores of the dimensions: sexual response (5.87 +/- 2.80 vs. 10.97 +/- 2.80) and female sexual limitations (4.88 +/- 3.90 vs. 16.77 +/- 3.00) were significantly higher after surgery (p<0.001), except the indicator: orgasm intensity (0.80 +/- 0.71 vs. 0.87 +/- 0.73, p = 0.722) and the dimension partner's sexual limitations (4.37 +/- 2,14 vs. 3.56 +/- 2.70, p=0.815) where their scores before and after surgery showed no statistically significant differences (p>0.05). Conclusions: women with GP exhibit a poor SF, surgical repair of GP by conventional techniques significantly improves the SF of patients with pelvic floor dysfunction, allowing these women get sexual life more pleasant, which will impact on improving their quality of life.

ABSTRACT
Se efectuó una investigación analítica, longitudinal y retrospectiva de una muestra de 110 mujeres de un total de 639 con diferentes afecciones de los órganos genitales, excluidas las sépticas, e intervenidas las primeras por vía vaginal durante el quinquenio 2005-2009, las cuales fueron asignadas a 2 grupos: el A, integrado por 37 pacientes sin prolapso genital (técnica de Peham-Amreich); y el B, conformado por 73 féminas con dicho prolapso (técnica de Heany) en estadios clínicos I y II-III, quienes fueron reagrupadas en subgrupos de 32 y 41 pacientes, respectivamente. En la serie se consideraron las variables: edad, sangrado peroperatorio, tiempo quirúrgico, estadía posoperatoria, complicaciones peroperatorias y posoperatorias, así como control ambulatorio (trigésimo día). Las integrantes del grupo A se ajustaron a requerimientos clínicos y ecográficos preseleccionados: útero móvil y equivalente en volumen al puño de un hombre adulto de biotipo medio, campo operatorio suficiente y normalidad en examen de anejos. Para el análisis estadístico se aplicó el test de Pearson, con valores de significación considerados en 3 categorías, a saber: I, p=0,05 (estándar); II, p=0,01 (alta) y III, p=0,001 (muy alta). Se demostró, con muy alta significación, que el prolapso genital es una afección privativa de mujeres de edad superior a 50 años. El resto de las variables escogidas careció de valor estadístico en este estudio(AU)
An analytic, longitudinal and retrospective investigation was carried out in a sample of 110 women from a total of 639 with different disorders of the genitals, excluding the septic ones. The former group had surgeries through vagina during the five year period 2005-2009, and were assigned to 2 groups: group A, formed by 37 women without genital prolapse (Peham-Amreich technique); and group B, formed by 73 women with this disorder (Heany technique) in clinical stages I and II-III, who were regrouped in subgroups of 32 and 41 patients, respectively. Variables such as: age, peroperative bleeding, surgical time, postoperative stay, peroperative and postoperative complications, as well as ambulatory control (thirtieth day) were considered in the series. The members of group A were adjusted to previously selected clinical and echographic requirements: mobile uterus and equivalent in volume to the fist of an adult man of average biotype, adequate operative field and normality in the adnexa examination. For the statistical analysis the Pearson test was applied, with significance values considered in 3 categories, that is: I, p=0.05 (standard); II, p=0.01 (high) and III, p=0.001 (very high). It was significantively demonstrated, that genital prolapse is an exclusive disorder of women over 50 years old. The rest of the chosen variables lacked statistical value in this study(AU)

ABSTRACT
O prolapso genital é condição comum. Ocorre por fraqueza ou defeitos nos órgãos pélvicos de suspensão, que são constituídos de ligamentos, e/ou aqueles de sustentação, constituídos por fáscias e músculos. Sua avaliação constitui uma etapa importante do exame ginecológico, devendo, sempre que possível, ser classificado o grau de prolapso por meio de métodos padronizados. Atualmente, a quantificação é realizada por meio do POP-Q, preconizada pela Sociedade Internacional de Continência (ICS). Embora não seja uma afecção fatal, pode determinar sequelas importantes para a saúde da mulher, comprometendo sua qualidade de vida. Seu diagnóstico precoce previne o estágio final da doença. O tratamento pode ser conservador ou cirúrgico, dependendo do grau do prolapso, idade e estado clínico da paciente.
The pelvic prolapse is a common condition. It's occurs because of weakness or defects in the suspension pelvic organs - consisting of ligaments, and/or those of support, which consist of fascias and muscles. It's assessment is an important phase of the gynecological exam and, whenever possible, the degree of prolapse should be identified by means of standard methods. Currently the measurement is performed using POP-Q, as recommended by the International Continence Society (ICS). Although the disease is not considered fatal, it can determine serious sequela for women's health, affecting their quality of life. It's early diagnosis prevents the final stage of the disease. Treatment can be conservative or surgical depending on the degree of prolapse, and the patient age and medical condition.

Las disfunciones del piso pélvico comprenden la incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo, el prolapso de órganos pélvicos y la incontinencia anal. Una de cada diez mujeres tendrá que ser sometida a una intervención quirúrgica por disfunciones del piso pélvico durante su vida. Además, entre el 30 por ciento y el 50 por ciento tendrá una recidiva de estas intervenciones. La maternidad es un factor que contribuye de manera importante en la presentación de estas disfunciones pelvianas. Aún no existe evidencia probada de que el parto vaginal sea un factor completamente decisivo para la presencia de disfunciones del piso pélvico. Existe intensa investigación acerca del embarazo y el parto y sus efectos sobre el piso pélvico, y acerca de si algunas de las acciones obstétricas pueden ser modificadas con el fin de protegerlo de los potenciales daños.
The pelvic floor dysfunctions include urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapsed and anal incontinence. One in ten women will be subjected to surgery for pelvic floor dysfunction during their lifetime. In addition, between 30 percent and 50 percent will have a recurrence of these interventions. Motherhood is a factor that contributes significantly to the submission of pelvic dysfunctions. There is still no proven evidence that vaginal delivery is an absolutely crucial factor for the presence of pelvic floor dysfunction. There is extensive research on pregnancy and child birth and their effects on the pelvic floor and if some of the obstetric action scan be modified in order to protect it from potential damage.
