Pelvic Floor Disorders Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomized Trial: Can a Postpartum Pelvic Floor Education Workshop in a High-Risk Population Improve Pelvic Floor Symptoms?
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.
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. ;
