Analysis reveals a significant association between pelvic floor dysfunction and mental health issues, suggesting targeted interventions.

Key Points

  • In a cohort from 2005-2010, 10.8% reported depression and 4.1% suicidal ideation, indicating widespread mental health concerns.
  • Logistic regression analysis shows that the odds of depression were 2.076 times higher in women with pelvic floor dysfunction.
  • Increased psychological burden correlates with the number of pelvic floor symptoms, highlighting a need for mental health support.
