Research Abstract |
The purpose of the present study was to develop a risk assessment tool for the detection and prevention of post-delivery pelvic floor disorders. Systematic reviews on the symptoms of pelvic floor disorders revealed that any risk factor has not been clearly identified. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was conducted to clarify the risk factors and symptoms. The self-administered questionnaire was mailed to women who gave birth in the past five years at a university hospital in Tokyo. The data from mainly women who experienced a single vaginal delivery were analyzed. The differences in prevalence of stress urinary incontinence, anal incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse after the delivery, and associated factors were analyzed in detail. Furthermore, a draft of assessment tool was created with the premise of using it during post-delivery health check at one month.
