Brief Summary:
After having a baby there are some expected changes in pelvic floor function However tearing of the pelvic floor having a large baby and needing a vacuum or forceps to deliver the baby put women at risk for having pelvic floor disorders Our study aims to see if in women who had a high risk for pelvic floor disorders a pelvic floor education workshop four weeks after delivery can improve pelvic floor disorders compared to those that did not have a workshop
Detailed Description:
There is compelling evidence for the need for perineal education and care especially in women who have recognized risk factors For example 30-50 of women who have a clinically recognized risk factor report anal incontinence fecal urgency dyspareunia and perineal pain Despite this a study found that less than 50 of women with anal incontinence voice those symptoms unless directly asked about them
Some authors discuss how women may not share these symptoms with their care providers out of the belief that it is a normal effect of childbirth A review of the literature shows that antenatal educational workshops can be an effective means to provide pregnant women with information regarding pelvic floor health including how modes of delivery impact pelvic floor function Similarly antenatal pelvic floor workshops have been found to improve patients knowledge on pelvic floor health their practice of pelvic floor muscle exercises and their confidence with these exercises
To our knowledge there is no literature exploring the role of a postpartum pelvic floor workshop on managing perineal and pelvic floor symptoms in women who are identified as being at higher risk of developing pelvic floor dysfunction Our goal is to develop and assess such a workshop
