Overview

Cross-sectional study assesses awareness of pelvic floor dysfunction in postpartum and menopausal women, highlighting significant gaps.

Key Points

  • High awareness of pelvic organ prolapse was found in 70.3% of participants, yet awareness of urinary incontinence was significantly lower.
  • The study used a validated questionnaire to assess knowledge in 374 women, revealing postpartum women had better awareness than menopausal women.
  • Postpartum participants scored higher in urinary incontinence knowledge, indicating a disparity in awareness across life stages.
  • Findings stress the need for targeted education to improve recognition and care of pelvic floor disorders among women.
