| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The relationship between “the position of female pelvic organ” and “pelvic floor muscle strength” was clarified using magnetic resonance images in a sitting posture in women . The risk factors for pelvic organ descent were aging, childbirth, and stress urinary incontinence. “Bladder neck position” and “the elevation of bladder neck by pelvic floor muscles contraction” was negative correlated. That is suggested women with pelvic organ descent had hypermobility of bladder neck. The symptoms of urinary incontinence was improved by pelvic floor muscle training and supportive underwear for 12-weeks.
