Summary

The present study aimed to evaluate the levator ani muscle in both morphology (rest), and function (contraction and valsalva) in symptomatic women using 2D, 3D trans-perineum ultrasound (TPUS), to compare these features to clinical digital palpation and symptoms, and helping in diagnosis of muscle dysfunction.

Conditions

  • Pelvic Floor Disorders

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

pelvic floor ultrasound

2D and 3D trans-perineum ultrasound examinations will be performed by single examiner who was blind to clinical data, using a GE Voluson 730 machine (GE Medical System Kretz Technik, Zipf, Austria) with a RAB 4-8 MHz curved array volume transducer. In the supine position, with flexed and slightly abducted hips after urine voiding. The transducer was placed on the perineum, in the mid sagittal plane with minimal pressure being applied after covering it with an un-powdered glove or thin plastic wrap for hygienic reasons
