Digital vaginal palpation performed during clinical practice can help diagnose urinary, intestinal and sexual disorders, while perineometry is more useful for performing perineal exercises with biofeedback. This study verifies whether there is a correlation between values of Pelvic Floor Muscle Strength (PFMS) obtained through perineometry performed with an electronic perineometer and through digital vaginal palpation using the Oxford scale. This is a prospective cohort study with 330 measurements carried out in 110 women. Data were collected from 2007 to 2008 in the health service system in Itapecerica da Serra, São Paulo, Brazil. Evaluations were carried out at three points in time: up to 12 weeks of pregnancy; between 36-40 weeks; and between 42-60 days postpartum. The Spearman coefficient indicated a strong positive correlation between the two evaluation methods for the three evaluations (p<0.0001). The conclusion is that both methods are valid for measuring PFMS during pregnancy and after delivery.

Introduction: Urinary incontinence is a common condition in pregnancy and postpartum period. It causes discomfort, embarrassment, loss of confidence and self esteem. This study aimed to determine the occurrence of urinary incontinence in pregnant attending antenatal clinic in a tertiary hospital. Methods: A descriptive observational study was conducted to find out occurrence of urinary incontinence in primiparous attending department of obstetrics and gynecology from August 2014 to August 2015 at B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences. Results: The total of 100 primigravida were enrolled in the study. Out of which six had urinary incontinence with mean age of 23 years. Most of them were in the period of gestation group 38–40 weeks. 22% of total were obese with mean BMI of 26.69 kg/m2. Seventy nine patients had vaginal delivery, four had vacuum assisted vaginal delivery and 17 had cesarean section. Age and Body Mass Index (BMI) was not found to be associated with urinary incontinence. Oxford grading for assessment of perineal muscle after delivery showed decline in pelvic muscle tone which was significantly associated with urinary incontinence. However, the mode of delivery, and birth weight of baby was not found to be significant. Conclusion: The study finding suggested that pregnancy acts a risk factor for development of UI although no preference could be drawn regarding the mode of delivery. Our study also concluded antepartum UI as a risk factor for postpartum UI.

Introduction. The effect of the osteopathic treatment in the postpartum period has not been adequately studied in Western countries. The most part of the studies are focused on postpartum pain, whereas there is not enough information on the effect of osteopathic treatment on the recovery of perineal muscles.Goal of research - to study the effect of osteopathic treatment in combination with physical therapy on the recovery of the perineal muscle system in women in the postpartum period. Materials and methods. The study examined 38 women (mean age 30±5 years old) who underwent therapy in order to restore the perineal muscular system in the postpartum period. They were divided into two groups. Patients of the focus group received therapy in combination with the osteopathic correction. Women of the second group received therapy in combination with the imitation of manual treatment. Results. The data analysis shows a signifi cant difference in the results of testing of the perineal muscle strength in patients of both groups by the end of the treatment: from 24,51±18,55 to 148,21±127,51 in the focus group, and from 29,32±20,32 to 94,22±78,51 in the control group. The intensity and the duration of the perineal muscle contraction did not differ signifi cantly by the end of the treatment in both groups.Conclusion. Osteopathic treatment in combination with the rehabilitation therapy of the perineum signifi cantly improves the muscle tone and promotes the restitution of the perineal muscle quality in the postpartum period in comparison with classical treatment.
