Study Overview
Brief Summary
1.The incidence of pelvic floor muscles weakness in women is around 12 to 60% .
Though Pelvic floor weakness is very common, many women don’t disclose about their problems and hence early detection is delayed and the benefits from interventions like physical, sexual and professional life are not obtained. PFMS can be associated with factors like age, parity, mode of delivery, prolonged labor and menopausal status.
2.Very few studies have examined the effect of age on pelvic floor muscle strength with the aim to standardize reference value of pelvic floor muscle strength in women and difference in nulliparous, premenopausal parous and postmenopausal women. This study aims to give further insight into this topic.
