Does a ring pessary in situ influence the pelvic floor muscle function of women with pelvic organ prolapse when tested in supine?

摘要

Introduction and hypothesis It has been suggested that repositioning pelvic organ prolapse (POP) by pessary support may improve pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function. The aim of the present study was to compare vaginal resting pressure and maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) of the PFM measured with and without a ring pessary in situ.
