“…Conventional physical therapy for pelvic floor dysfunction includes pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) [101,102], biofeedback therapy [103], pelvic floor electrical stimulation [104], magnetic stimulation therapy [105], radiofrequency therapy [106]and laser therapy. These therapeutic means have different degrees of therapeutic efficacy for different types of pelvic floor dysfunction, and the following describes the common physical therapeutic means and their clinical applications in pelvic floor dysfunction.…”

Female pelvic floor dysfunction (FPFD) is a series of conditions caused by the displacement or dysfunction of the patient's pelvic organs due to defects, injuries, and deterioration of the pelvic floor supportive structures, with stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse being the most common. The mechanism of pelvic floor dysfunction is complex and not yet fully understood, and is often related to one or more functional abnormalities of muscles, connective tissues, fascia, nerves and blood vessels. Specialized clinicians are often unable to cover the comprehensive medical professional information of various specialties such as gynecology and obstetrics, urology, anus and intestines, imaging, etc., and the systematic and comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of the disease will be limited. The application of artificial intelligence concepts in the medical field not only improves the diagnostic efficiency of physicians, but also provides reference and basis for the development of comprehensive treatment programs. This article follows and draws on the diagnosis and treatment process of pelvic floor dysfunction recommended in various guidelines, incorporates physical therapy techniques into the conventional non-surgical treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction, provides guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction, and briefly introduces the clinical application and value of pelvic floor intelligent diagnosis and treatment in pelvic floor dysfunction.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) affects 30%–70% of women’s health to varying degrees, and numerous risk factors have been confirmed. For patients with moderate to severe POP, surgical intervention is the primary solution. The application of mesh materials, especially tissue-engineered materials, is more desirable for surgical outcomes. Compared to those for traditional surgery, the recurrence and reoperation rates for mesh implantation are low. The continuous development and improvement of tissue engineering technology and various related procedures offer good prospects. However, there is still no consensus on the criteria for POP treatment. Therefore, in this review, we describe the effects of different types of mesh materials and several related representative implantation procedures, explore the potential concerns and future remedies, and provide information for optimizing mesh implantation and formulating POP clinical protocols.

Pelvic floor dysfunctions (PFD) are prevalent conditions that affect millions of women worldwide, encompassing a range of issues severely affecting women's quality of life. Pelvic floor muscle strength and function are fundamental to the management and prevention of PFD, and pelvic rehabilitation is a non-invasive approach that effectively improves symptoms, restores function, and prevents complications. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of pelvic floor muscle training program using weighted vaginal cones, on pelvic floor muscle function and quality of life in women with pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD). Fifty-four women aged 26-62 years, with different type of urinary incontinence, cystocele, and prolapse participated in this pre-post intervention comparative analysis. Pelvic floor muscle function was assessed using the PC test, which measures strength, endurance and fatigability, while the impact on patients' quality of life was assessed with the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire - Short Form 7 (PFIQ-7). A three-month vaginal cone training regimen was implemented, with as-sessments conducted before the intervention (T0), one month later (T1), and three months later (T2). Data analysis showed a change with significant differences between the PC test score values at the level of each parameter and at each assessment (p<0.05, ES=0.254-511). The scores for bladder and urinary problems Urinary Impact Questionnaire (UIQ-7) significantly de-creased from 38.901 ± 1.268 at T0 to 29.366 ± 2.493 at T2 (W = 1082.000, p < 0.001, ES=0.570). In contrast, the scores for vaginal or pelvic problems (POPIQ-7) showed a slight, insignificant decrease from 12.699 ± 1.128 at T0 to 10.499 ± 2.362 at T2 (W = 278.000, p = 0.800, ES=0.053). fVaginal cone training significantly improves pelvic floor mus-cle function and reduces urynary symptoms in women with PFD.
