This study explores how vaginal tissue changes after childbirth and whether the way you delivered (vaginal birth vs. cesarean section) makes a difference. Understanding these changes may help doctors better support women's health after pregnancy.
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.
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.
This trial tests if using a special ultrasound to show pelvic floor muscle movement during exercises helps new mothers strengthen their pelvic floor better than standard therapy alone. It is for women who gave birth vaginally within the past 4 months.
This trial tests two surgical methods to tighten the vaginal opening and improve comfort during sex. It is for women who have stopped having sex because the vagina feels too loose.
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.
