Women's experiences of doing long-term pelvic floor muscle exercises for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse symptoms.

摘要

This study revealed the importance of family in influencing PFME patterns and behaviours in the treatment of POP. It is possible that identifying strategies to help women reach their PFME goals within the context of their families will promote more successful PFME adherence. The importance of family when prescribing exercise for women with other chronic health conditions is also worth exploring.
