Filter by:Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is routinely recommended to treat and prevent pelvic floor symptoms in the postpartum period. However, due to the high cost, remoteness of the location, and responsibilities of the baby, women cannot participate in PFMT whenever and wherever they want. Telerehabilitation (TR) may be an effective method to facilitate women's access to PFMT. Therefore, our study aims to compare the short and medium-term effects of PFMT applied with the TR method on pelvic floor symptoms, symptom-related quality of life and pelvic floor muscle function with supervised PFMT. This randomized controlled study was conducted at Yeditepe University Hospital Bağdat Street Polyclinic Pelvic Floor Center and online synchronous platform on women aged 18-35 and between the 6th and 8th weeks postpartum. Participants were randomly assigned to the synchronized PFMT performed with the telerehabilitation method (TR-PFMT) group and the supervised PFMT (S-PFMT) group. The same PFMT program was carried out in both groups for 45-50 minutes, 2 days a week for 8 weeks, by two physiotherapists specialized experienced in the pelvic floor. The program was carried out via a synchronous online platform (Skype™ program) in the TR-PFMT group, and as a face-to-face session in the S-PFMT group. Participants' pelvic floor symptoms were evaluated with the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20), symptom-related quality of life was evaluated with the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire-7 (PFIQ-7), and pelvic floor muscle function was evaluated with superficial electromyography. Evaluations were made 3 times in total: before the exercise program, after the exercise program and at the 8th week after the exercise program (6th month postpartum).
Pressure applied according to the principles of acupressure limits the pain limit, reduces the secretion of endorphins, which is a neurochemical, reduces the tension in the muscles, reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood flow, and finally provides duration and relaxation. Acupressure application is becoming more and more common nowadays because it is a noninvasive, safe, easy-to-apply and effective method without side effects. It seems that there is a limit to the study in which group acupressure applications in the literature are examined together on pain and comfort after cesarean section. In these basic points, the expectations of achieving postpartum pain and postpartum comfort of acupressure applied after cesarean delivery in this study. The circle of the research; There will be women who will have repeated cesarean section in a private Obstetrics Clinic in Famagusta. Women will be separated from two groups, one group will continue acupressure and the other group will do routine care. Visual analog scale and end-of-birth comfort procedure will be applied to women before and after the application.
The objective of this study is to assess if the addition of an early postpartum visit improves attendance at postpartum visits. We seek to evaluate if an additional early postpartum visit improves patient education, satisfaction, or trust in the clinicians during the postpartum period; all of which may ultimately facilitate improved outcomes. Additionally, we seek to explore patient preferences for postpartum care delivery.
The postpartum period for the family is the period of adjustment in which a new order is established due to adding a new member to the family. For the mother, this period is a transitional period in which she has to adapt to her baby, postpartum disorders, the new order in the family, and changes in body image. Inactivity is common in today's world; increases the risk of various problems in new mothers. These problems negatively affect women's depression, functional level, sleep quality, and quality of life in the postpartum period. The Pilates method, developed by Joseph Pilates under the name of "Contrology," is the most well-known exercise method in the world for babies and mothers among today's exercise programs since it is an exercise method in which all systems, spirit, and body are integrated and coordinated, considering the whole physiological process. This study aims to understand how depression, loss of functionality, sleep quality, functional levels, and quality of life levels of women who do pilates exercises with a physiotherapist are affected in the postpartum period.

Introduction A common problem in women after childbirth is bleeding (5-8 percent). This is one of the leading causes of maternal death in Thailand. The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage is approximately 1-2 percent of the births. A second problem is infection after birth which is a leading cause of illness and death of the mother. Incidence of infection after childbirth is 1-2 percent of women in developed countries and 5-10 percent of postpartum women overall. Staphylococcus aureus bacterium is found in the reproductive system of 5-9 percent of women. Perineal wound infections cause perineal pain. Thirdly is the problem of insufficient milk in foreign countries, mothers breastfeeding for less than 12 months total 94.7 percent. The fourth problem is difficult urination after vaginal delivery or 6 hours after removing the catheter in surgical cases. It is a common and important problem from 1.7 to 17.9 percent. The above problem causes infection and inflammation pain. The first 24 hours after birth to 6 weeks physical and physiological changes of maternal organs and systems occurs such as the decline in hormone levels. This includes human placental lactogen (HPL), human chorionic somatomammotropin (HCS), human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), estrogen, progesterone, prolactin, follicular stimulating hormones, luteinizing hormones. There is also blood loss. The clinical difficulties found in the postpartum period include after pain, perineal pain, breast engorgement, puerperal diuresis, weight loss, fever, pain and discomfort after birth. And the pain decreases or is lost in 3 days after birth. The original gate-control theory proposed that there is a physiological within the substantia gelatinosa of the spinal cord's dorsal horn grey matter. It is suggested that sensory signals can only pass through the cells in the substantia gelatinosa when the gate is open. When the gate is closed, sensory information is blocked, and this forms the basis of a kind of physiological pain relief. In relation to the 4 basic life elements of earth, water, wind and fire, the maternal body is lacking wind. This causes the fire to also decrease and the element of pain results. It becomes important to restore balance by stimulating blood circulation and herbal treatment is desirable to help the fire of the blood to speed the element of wind through the body. Thai Traditional Medicine is used to treat the pain of mothers after childbirth. Because of in balance of mind fire in the body. By this reason, the balance of fire and wind increase to spread the circulatory system. Medicinal plants can increase the element of fire and the wind. Also, in Thai Traditional Medicine concept, pain reduction for postpartum mothers includes regular massage, herbal steam, herbal breast compress, Tub Mhor Kluer, eating heat-producing food. In the Thai Traditional Medicine manuscript, Kam-pee Mahachotharat there are 85 remedies for blood treatment therapy and especially, 44 contain ginger. Representing 51.76 percent of then.
