Pelvic Floor Disorders Clinical Trial
Official title:
Pelvic Floor Muscle Assessment at 3-and 4-dimensional Transperineal Ultrasound and Its Relation to Pregnancy and Labor
Injuries to the pelvic floor muscles and fascias during delivery and childbirth may lead to urinary incontinence (25-45 %), faecal incontinence (11-45%), pelvic organ prolapse (7-23%), sexual dysfunction (15-33 %) and chronic pain syndromes (4-15%). Pelvic floor muscle injuries are not easy to diagnose as they are not visible when looking at surface anatomy during a standard gynaecological examination. The investigators are therefore in urgent need of better tools to diagnose these injuries. Having a reliable and easily accessible tool enables studies of the consequences of such pelvic floor muscle injuries. It also makes it possible for us to explore the effect of interventions such as pelvic floor muscle training and surgery in patients with and without pelvic floor muscle injuries. The investigators have previously presented data to support the reliability and the validity of the three and four dimensional (3 and 4D) ultrasound technique used to define pelvic floor muscle anatomy in healthy volunteers and have now a tool to study women before and after delivery.
At the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Cairo University Hospital there are
approximately 29000 deliveries annually and 10000 women are giving birth for the first time.
Challenges: The invitation to participate in the study will be given to all women expecting
their first child fulfilling inclusion criteria. The biggest challenges in the project will
be logistical. To be able to inform, recruit and follow women having their first child is a
challenge in itself.
Applications: If it is possible to identify a risk group for pelvic floor injuries before
delivery, it might be ethical to recommend a prophylactic cesarean section to avoid disabling
incontinence and prolapse later in life.
