Abstract

Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) commonly affects women, reducing health and life quality. This review addresses the chronic impact of PFD, which results from weakened pelvic support and leads to organ prolapse and other issues. Globally noted, it covers symptoms like pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence, affecting postpartum women who may lack awareness. It stresses early detection and nonsurgical treatments, summarizing causes, classifications, and modern rehab strategies.

Keywords
