Pelvic Floor Symptoms

Introduction The aim of this study was to establish the prevalence of pelvic floor symptoms in women referred to a colorectal two-week wait (2WW) clinic with suspected colorectal cancer. Methods A questionnaire assessing faecal incontinence (FI) (Wexner score) and obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) (Renzi score) was offered to 98 consecutive female patients attending a colorectal 2WW clinic at a single trust. Results Overall, 56 (57%) of the 98 patients had significant ODS and/or FI (scores >9/20), 33 (34%) had ODS and 40 (41%) had FI. Seventeen patients (17%) had both ODS and FI. Analysis of the 63 patients referred with a change in bowel habit (CIBH) showed 40 (63%) to be Renzi and/or Wexner positive compared with 16 (46%) of the 35 patients who presented without CIBH (p=0.095, Fisher’s exact test). Further analysis showed that 31 (78%) of the 40 patients with FI presented with CIBH compared with 32 (55%) of the 58 without FI (p=0.032). In terms of ODS, 23 (70%) of the 33 patients with ODS presented with CIBH compared with 40 (62%) of the 65 without ODS (p=0.506). Conclusions Over half of the female patients attending our colorectal 2WW clinic had significant pelvic floor dysfunction (FI/ODS), which may account for their symptoms (especially in the CIBH referral category). While it is important for malignancy to be excluded, many patients may benefit from investigation and management of their pelvic floor dysfunction as the cause for their presenting symptoms.

Objective: To determine the level of knowledge about pelvic floor dysfunction before and after counseling in term pregnant women and knowing whether a difference a change of attitude in the selection method of delivery before and after counseling. Methods: This study design using pre - post test. At the beginning of our study provide some sort of written test to determine the initial knowledge of participants prior to the extension and the selection of the desired method of delivery. Having obtained the results of the test, followed by education about pelvic floor dysfunction. Then do the post-test to determine the level of knowledge of the subject and mode of delivery that would be pursued. The study took place between February and May 2016 in 5 Public Health Center (PHC) in Jakarta that PHC Warakas (North Jakarta), PHC Tanah Abang (Central Jakarta), PHC Cengkareng (West Jakarta), PHC Jatinegara (East Jakarta) and PHC Jagakarsa (South Jakarta). Results: A total of 102 study subjects who began the study gave the results of the pretest mean 71  10.49 (p<0.0001) and post test results of 80.725  7.7 (p<0.0001). Of the 102 subjects who began the study, there were two people who had previously chose method of delivery by caesarean section turned into vaginal. Conclusion: There is a change scores better in knowledge about pelvic floor dysfunction after counseling. There was no significant difference between selecting the desired method of delivery before the after counseling.

AbstractBackground: Vulvodynia has been defined as vulvar discomfort, most often described as burning pain, occurring in the absence of relevant findings or a specific, clinically identifiable, neurologic disorder. Vulvodynia is a genital syndrome of multi-causal origin and requires a team approach. The purpose of the case report of provoked vulvodynia is to show the efficacy of individualized, multifaceted and multidisciplinary therapeutic team approach used by a gynaecologist with special knowledge of sexology and a physiotherapist specialising in treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction. Case report: A 35-year old patient presented with a complaint of genital itching and consequently burning pain which first occurred during sexual intercourse one year previously. Afterwards a gynaecologist with special knowledge of sexology performed a biopsychosocial assessment, broader gynaecological examination and psychoeducation. Diagnosed was provoked vulvodynia. Than she was assessed by the physiotherapist specialising in treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction and treated with TENS. To assess the effectiveness of treatment were used Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire and the visual analogue scale before and after the team approach treatment. Conclusions: In our case individualized, multifaceted and multidisciplinary therapeutic approach proved to be a good choice for treating genital syndrome of provoked vulvodynia of multi-causal origin.

Background. Pathological vaginal discharge is the most common disorder in women after giving birth who have vaginal relaxation syndrome and vaginal wall prolapse, as well as in women during menopause. To date, there are no clear treatment regimens for mixed vulvovaginal infections, and the use of only drug therapy in patients with pelvic organ prolapse and genitourinary syndrome of menopause in combination with diseases which are accompanied by pathological vaginal discharge does not give a long lasting result and is characterized by frequent relapses. In this regard, the use of laser methods in combination with drug therapy may lead to the recovery of vaginal microbiocenosis and a decrease in the number of relapses of diseases which are accompanied by pathological discharge from the genital tract. Results. Description. This article presents a clinical case and description of the experience of using a neodymium laser for the treatment of a patient with recurrent mixed vulvovaginitis, 2nd- degree vaginal wall prolapse, loss of pelvic floor muscle tone, vaginal relaxation syndrome and sexual dysfunction using neodymium laser. The woman received 3 procedures of exposure to a neodymium laser with an interval of 2830 days. After 3 procedures of exposure to a neodymium laser, the patient has a good clinical efficacy in the recovery of vaginal microbiocenosis. Conclusions. An innovative technique of exposure to Nd:YAG neodymium laser in the practice of a gynecologist has shown high clinical efficiency in the treatment of not only pelvic floor dysfunction, but also mixed vulvovaginitis. And, despite this aspect of the use of laser technologies requires further study, we can use a neodymium laser in combination with traditional drug therapy to treat diseases which are accompanied by pathological discharge from the genital tract in cases of ineffective drug monotherapy and frequent relapses.
