Abstract:

Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is a common disease in women, which can lead to pelvic organ prolapse (POP), urinary incontinence, anal incontinence, sexual dysfunction, and other serious symptoms that affect the quality of life of patients, due to pelvic floor damage caused by factors such as pregnancy and childbirth. With the progress of population aging, the burden of these diseases will continue to increase. The current treatment strategy is to prefer non-surgical treatment, especially for patients with mild to moderate symptoms. There are numerous non-surgical treatment such as pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), electrical stimulation, biofeedback, magnetic stimulation, uterine support, urethral bulking agents, regenerative medicine. With the development of medicine, more and more new materials and technologies related to the treatment of such diseases have emerged. When selecting a treatment plan for patients, it is necessary to fully consider the characteristics of each treatment method and provide personalized treatment for the patients. This review elaborates on several non-surgical methods for PFD mentioned above, providing references for selecting treatment options and further research on this disease.
