Researchers are investigating pelvic floor rehabilitation treatments for female pelvic floor dysfunction, focusing on Chinese patients. This observational study aims to understand how different therapies, including pelvic floor muscle training, biofeedback electrical stimulation, and magnetic stimulation, affect women with postpartum pelvic floor weakness, mild to moderate pelvic organ prolapse, or prolapse combined with dysfunction. The study also seeks to identify early predictors of dysfunction and factors influencing treatment outcomes. Participants receive pelvic floor rehabilitation based on their specific conditions across multiple hospital centers. The treatments include pelvic floor muscle training guided by a therapist, biofeedback electrical stimulation with vaginal electrodes, magnetic stimulation tailored to patient comfort, and a combination of magnetic stimulation followed by biofeedback electrical stimulation. Different patient groups receive these therapies according to individualized clinical pathways. During the study, researchers collect clinical data using questionnaires PFDI-20, pelvic organ prolapse quantification POP-Q scores, pelvic floor muscle strength, and electromyography at baseline, treatment end, 3 months, and 1 year post-treatment. These measures help evaluate therapy effectiveness and tailor personalized rehabilitation plans. Participation involves follow-up surveys up to one year after treatment to monitor progress and outcomes.
