Summary

Recent studies have found that pelvic floor muscle training can relieve pelvic organ prolapse related symptoms. However, the rate of cure or improvement of symptoms with exercise prescription, different compliance of the patient's behavior have great differences. Biofeedback is an instrument used to record the biological signals ( electrical activity) during a voluntary pelvic floor muscle contraction and provide feedback in auditory or visual form (a louder sound with a stronger squeeze or an increasing number of lights on a visual display as the strength of the squeeze increased). Therefore, this study would explore the efficacy of biofeedback-assisted pelvic floor muscle training in women with pelvic floor dysfunction with or without organ prolapse.
