Abstract

Background. Pelvic floor insufficiency (PPF), characterized by damage or weakness of the pelvic muscles, affects women of all ages, with an average prevalence of 50% and a peak in the older age group (77%). Main points. Among the conservative treatments for NTD, pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is recognized as the first line of therapy. An important condition for performing exercises is the use of a special device - iEASE XFT-0010 perineometer (a modern digital analogue of the perineometer invented by A. Kegel), which allows you to assess the strength of contractions, select an individual simulator, control the correctness of the exercises and the effectiveness of training in dynamics. PFMT is an effective treatment for pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence. Numerous studies and meta-analyses have shown a decrease in the frequency and severity of symptoms, a decrease in the degree of prolapse and satisfaction with the results of treatment in 70% of patients who refused surgical treatment. Conclusion. PFMT are effective in the treatment and prevention of symptoms associated with pelvic floor dysfunction with patient education, regular exercise, and use of a perineometer.
