The Effectiveness of PFMT in Treating Postpartum Urinary 1 Incontinence: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Listen to this summary
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in treating postpartum urinary incontinence (PPUI). The findings indicated that while PFMT significantly improved pelvic floor muscle strength and endurance, it did not show a significant impact on urinary incontinence incidence or quality of life. The authors concluded that although PFMT is beneficial for muscle function, its direct effect on symptom resolution remains uncertain due to data limitations and study heterogeneity.
