“…Amongst the lesions in the female genital tract, we can distinguish endometriosis, dyspareunia and premenstrual syndrome [11][12][13] that are characterised by pain within the abdominal cavity. It can be said that a common denominator of these disorders is increased muscle tone.…”

Dyspareunia is genital pain during sexual intercourse without constriction of the vulva or vagina. This is one of the most significant issues that lies at the border of gynaecology and sexology. Dyspareunia can be caused by endometriosis. Many women can also experience premenstrual syndrome, which can occur as a separate problem. All three of these can result from an imbalance between the female genital organs and their surrounding tissues with other structures of the skeletal or visceral system, with impaired mobility and motility of organs, intra-organ movement, vascular drainage, a pressure gradient between the urogenital and diaphragmatic cylinders, dysfunctions in the area of the broad ligament of the uterus, and fascial bonding. Apart from standard treatment methods used in gynaecology and sexology, physiotherapy (e.g., visceral therapy) is of great value. Visceral therapy aims at restoring intra-organ movement, reducing tension, focusing on the area of the two cylinders of the trunk, and supporting the functioning of the vascular system in the vicinity of the uterus. All these activities reduce pain and substantially change the functioning of the uterus and ovaries.

Background: The prevalence of POP in women ranges from 30–40%, with 10–20% requiring surgical intervention. Annually, over 225,000 surgical procedures for POP are performed in the United States. The severity of prolapse is assessed using the four-stage POP-Q system, which facilitates clinical research by providing a standardized measure of defect severity. Surgical intervention is indicated for more severe cases, with various techniques available through vaginal or abdominal access. Synthetic meshes, primarily made of polypropylene (PP), are commonly used in POP surgeries due to their biocompatibility and mechanical support. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a non-resorbable, light polypropylene gynecological mesh (G-Mesh®, Tricomed S.A., Łódź, Poland) in the surgical treatment of pelvic floor prolapse in women. Methods: The meshes were implanted via laparoscopy (Dubuisson method) and laparotomy or transvaginally. A multicenter, retrospective study was conducted involving 81 patients aged 28–83. Results: The results collected at three follow-up visits indicated a high level of patient satisfaction, minimal discomfort, and no significant pain. Many patients emphasized significant improvement in quality of life and the lack of any adverse events associated with the presence of the implant. Conclusions: The G-Mesh® gynecological mesh has emerged as an effective and safe intervention for treating pelvic floor dysfunction in women, addressing conditions such as cystocele, rectocele, uterine prolapse, and ureterocele.
