Pelvic floor measurements during pregnancy and after birth
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study follows women during pregnancy and after childbirth to measure how the pelvic floor muscles change. The goal is to understand normal changes so doctors can better prevent or treat problems like incontinence or prolapse later.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how muscles in the hips, lower back, belly, and pelvic floor relate to how you give birth and whether you have pelvic floor problems after childbirth. It aims to help future patients by learning more about these connections.
This study tests a therapeutic exercise program to help women recover after a vaginal delivery. It aims to improve pelvic health and overall well-being in the weeks after childbirth.
This study follows women who experienced anal sphincter injury during childbirth at a Finnish hospital between 2009 and 2021. Researchers want to understand how this injury affects pelvic floor function and sexual health over time, and what treatments or support help most.
This trial tests a pelvic floor rehabilitation program (using exercises and possibly electrical or magnetic stimulation) for women with weak pelvic muscles after childbirth or mild to moderate pelvic organ prolapse. It aims to improve muscle strength and reduce prolapse symptoms.
This study looks at how changes in the pelvis after delivery might be linked to urine leaking after childbirth. It compares women who had a vaginal birth, a vacuum-assisted birth, or a C-section to understand the connection.
This study looks at how well the pelvic floor (the muscles supporting your bladder, uterus, and bowel) recovers after a vaginal birth. It tests whether starting gentle exercises soon after delivery helps improve recovery.
