Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	To assess the change from baseline sexual function at 3 month	Assessment based on validated questionnaire. Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), a 19-item measure of sexual function in all four domains: desire, arousal, orgasm and sexual pain. The total score ranges from 0-36, with higher scores indicating better sexual function. Total score below 26.6 indicates clinical Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD).	baseline, post intervention at 3 months
Primary	To assess the change from baseline sexual function at 3 month	Assessment based on validated questionnaire. The Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire International Urogynecological Association (IUGA) Revised (PISQ-IR) is a validated measure of sexual function among not only sexually active women but also sexually inactive women. This questionnaire contains 20 questions, and is used to assess sexual activity in women with urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. The higher the score the better the Sexual Function.	baseline, post intervention at 3 months
Primary	To assess the change from baseline degree of pelvic organ prolapse at 3 month	The Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantifications System (POP-Q) is a system for assessing the degree of prolapse of pelvic organs to help standardize diagnosing, comparing, documenting, and sharing of clinical findings. This assessment is the most frequently used among research publications related to pelvic organ prolapse.	baseline, post intervention at 3 months
Primary	To assess the change from baseline overall health and quality of life at 3 month	Self-reported quality of life (SF-12) is a general health measure assessing the impact of health on an individual's everyday life. The SF-12 consists of eight domains and generates two separate summary scores, physical functional scores (PCS) and mental function scores (MCS), ranging from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicated better health related quality of life.	baseline, post intervention at 3 months
Primary	To assess the change from baseline overall health and quality of life at 3 month	Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) is a tool to assess depression. The severity of depression is assessed by summarizing the scores assigned to the categories, with score ranging between 1 and 27, with higher score correlating with more sever depression.	baseline, post intervention at 3 months
Primary	To assess the change from baseline overall health and quality of life at 3 month	The Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory Questionnaire (PFDI) is a condition-specific quality-of-life questionnaire for women with bowel, bladder, and/or pelvic symptoms. The scores range between 0 to 300 with higher scores indicating more severe distress.	baseline, post intervention at 3 months
