What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the therapeutic effects of various pelvic floor rehabilitation treatments, including muscle training, biofeedback electrical stimulation, and magnetic stimulation, on Chinese women with pelvic floor dysfunction. The study will assess the effectiveness of these treatments in patients with postpartum pelvic floor weakness and mild to moderate pelvic organ prolapse. It will involve a multicenter approach across seven hospitals in China, collecting baseline data and follow-up surveys to determine the most suitable rehabilitation plans for individual patients.
