Home-based pelvic muscle training devices or traditional PFMT at hospital: Performed home-based pelvic muscle training devices at home or traditional PFMT at hospital

Study summary

When participants present with symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI), the investigators will perform a comprehensive evaluation and initially provide conservative treatment. If conservative treatment fails, invasive treatment will be considered. The investigators will arrange a pelvic muscle training course two to three times a week for a duration of 1.5 months per course. However, participants may complain about the inconvenience of traffic, which may lead to discontinuation of the pelvic training course. Therefore, the investigators propose the development of a home-based pelvic muscle training device and will collaborate with information engineering specialists at Tamkang University to invent the device for home-based pelvic muscle training.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• The satisfication of pelvic muscle training (UDI-6) — up to 2 years
  The total score ranges from 0 to 18, with a higher score indicating that the patient experiences a greater degree of urinary distress.
• The satisfication of pelvic muscle training (ICIQ-SF) — up to 2 years
  The total score ranges from 0 to 21, with a higher score indicating that the patient experiences a greater degree of urinary distress.
• The satisfication of pelvic muscle training (IIQ-7) — up to 2 years
  The total score ranges from 0 to 21, with a higher score indicating that the patient experiences a greater degree of urinary distress.
• The satisfication of pelvic muscle training (POPDI-6) — up to 2 years
  POPDI-6 scores range from 0 to 24 and higher scores indicate worse bulging symptoms
• The satisfication of pelvic muscle training (PISQ-IR) — up to 2 years
  The PISQ-IR is a validated questionnaire in research for assessment of female sexual function. A higher score indicates a greater negative impact on sexual function.
