Scope

Scope: This document describes the application objects, specific processes, education and promotion, assessment, and intervention of the technical specifications for the extrapelvic intervention system for pelvic floor diseases. This document is applicable to clinicians such as obstetricians, gynecologists, rehabilitation specialists, and urologists in primary hospitals and tertiary hospitals; Main technical content: Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is a group of diseases caused by various factors such as defects in the pelvic floor support structure, injuries, and dysfunctions, leading to displacement of pelvic organs and causing various functional abnormalities of pelvic organs, including pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, chronic pelvic pain, and female sexual dysfunction.

It is necessary to pay attention to extrapelvic influencing factors such as obesity, smoking, lack of exercise, chronic constipation, diabetes, hypertension, malnutrition, relevant family history, fibromyalgia, chronic respiratory diseases, pregnancy-related problems (macrosomia, polyhydramnios, gestational diabetes), and delivery-related problems. Therefore, in addition to intrapelvic interventions, extrapelvic interventions are an important component for patients with pelvic floor dysfunction. This document focuses on extrapelvic interven
