Biomechanical effects of intra-abdominal pressure and genital hiatus on the pelvic floor in initial injury

Key Points

• Investigate the effects of intra-abdominal pressure and genital hiatus on pelvic floor biomechanics after initial injury.
• Analyzed the interaction of intra-abdominal pressure and genital hiatus in relation to pelvic floor health.
• Evaluated the stress on pelvic floor components like the anterior vaginal wall and pelvic support structures.
• Increased intra-abdominal pressure correlated with greater stress in the anterior vaginal wall and pelvic support structures.
• Descending displacements of the cervix and pelvic support mechanisms were observed, indicating heightened risk for prolapse progression.
