Download or read book Clinical and methodological aspects on perineal laceration diagnostics at childbirth written by Sofia Pihl and published by Linköping University Electronic Press. This book was released on 2019-12-09 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Obstetric perineal lacerations are common after vaginal birth. The degree of obstetric perineal laceration is defined by the extent of tissue involved in the laceration. When a perineal laceration has occurred after vaginal delivery, the examination for correct diagnostics is essential before primary suturing. Standard immediate postpartum care is an inspection and palpation of the obstetric perineal laceration. The aim of this thesis was to explore the diagnostics of obstetric perineal lacerations, and to examine how the methods of bidigital perineal palpation and transperineal ultrasound postpartum can contribute to the clinical diagnostic decisions before primary repair. Material and Methods: Study I is a methodological study of transperineal ultrasound of the anovaginal distance. The learning curve and inter-observer agreement of the method is studied between three examiners in an outpatient gynaecological setting. Study II is a prospective observational study of 150 primiparous women with suspected perineal laceration of degree 2-3 immediately after childbirth and the association between bidigital palpation of the perineal height, the anovaginal distance and the final diagnosis of the perineal laceration. Study III is a retrospective observational study with data from the Swedish national Perineal Laceration Registry, studying maternal and obstetric risk factors for internal anal sphincter injury in 3,333 women with external sphincter injury. Study IV is a follow-up study focusing on the implementation strategies and outcome when introducing a new method, (the Diagnostics After DELivery – DADEL concept) for examining perineal lacerations at a maternity ward. The DADEL concept consists of a combination of bidigital palpation of the perineal tissues and transperineal ultrasound in order to determine the degree of perineal lacerations. Results and conclusions: In study I, the method of transperineal ultrasound measurement of anovaginal distance revealed a short learning period and high interobserver agreement. This indicated that the method can be taught and reliably used in further research and clinical practice. In study II, women with external sphincter injury had a shorter anovaginal distance compared to women without this injury. The palpatory perineal thickness was associated with the anovaginal distance. Study III showed that 33% of primiparous women with an external anal sphincter injury also had an internal anal sphincter injury diagnosed immediately after delivery. When the infant was born with a hand or arm beside the head, there was an increased risk for internal anal sphincter injury. Perineal palpatory thickness of less than 10 mm was significantly associated with an internal anal sphincter injury. In the follow-up study of diagnostic methods showed a significantly higher use of bidigital palpation five years after introduction of the DADEL concept. The use of transperineal ultrasound showed no significant change during the same period.
Download or read book Pelvic Floor Re education written by Bernhard Schüssler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pelvic Floor Re-education encompasses a variety of techniques for increasing the strength of, and control over, the pelvic floor muscles. These techniques are now emerging as an effective and viable alternative to surgery in the treatment of urinary incontinence and related conditions. This volume presents a reasoned, scientific approach to the use of pelvic floor re-education. Starting with the latest theories on anatomy, pathophysiology and possible causes of pelvic floor damage, the text then describes the importance of pelvic floor evaluation in determining the type of treatment required. A number of re-education techniques are assessed including isolated muscle exercise, vaginal cones, biofeedback control and electrical stimulation. Recent research work is also reviewed which allows the reader to evaluate the different modalities advocated in the management of pelvic floor dysfunction.
Download or read book Ambulatory Urology and Urogynaecology written by Abhay Rane and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-03-22 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "According to the International Association for Ambulatory Surgery (IAAS), ambulatory surgery should be defined as: 'an operation/procedure, excluding an office or outpatient operation/procedure, where the patient is discharged on the same working day'. The origins of ambulatory surgery can be traced back to the pioneering work of James Nicholl at the Glasgow Royal Hospital who reported 8988 paediatric day case procedures between 1899-1908. Despite initial scepticism from the surgical profession, there has been a rapid expansion in the complexity and amount of ambulatory surgery in recent years: between 1989-2003 the percentage of elective surgery undertaken as day case in the UK increased from 15% to 70%. Many health services have set targets for the percentage of elective surgeries to be done as day-case procedures and in the UK this target is set at 75%"--

Finally, a woman can have the facts and options to make her a team player with her physician as she tackles these issues. The information in this book picks up where that in What to Expect® When You’re Expecting leaves off.” —Elizabeth G. Stewart, M.D., author of The V Book At last, a reassuring, straightforward, and practical guide to easing, preventing, and even curing, once and for all, the symptoms of pelvic-floor disorders, including: •incontinence •prolapse •pressure and pain •sexual difficulties •bowel troubles Pelvic-floor disorders are much more common than you might think—millions of women suffer from one or more symptoms of pelvic-floor injury. These problems often stem from the strain placed on the body during pregnancy and childbirth, although symptoms may take years, or decades, to appear—if they don’t begin right away. Childbirth can wreak havoc on even the healthiest woman’s body, and you may still be feeling the effects long after the birth of your last child. If you suffer from any of these conditions, you do not need to feel helpless, and you are certainly not alone. Every one of these pelvic disorders is treatable, even curable in many cases. Dr. Roger Goldberg, a respected physician in the emerging field of urogynecology, provides the most up-to-date information on surgical and nonsurgical treatment options. He offers a clear explanation of the pelvic anatomy and why these disorders occur and also describes simple preventive techniques you can use to ease pelvic symptoms and minimize further strain (including the correct way to do Kegel exercises). Armed with the facts and candid advice contained in Ever Since I Had My Baby, you will be able to discuss your individual symptoms and potential treatments with your doctor confidently and knowledgeably. This book will help you realize the freedom you’ve been seeking from the emotional and physical burden of symptoms that often go unmentioned, or are overlooked, in women’s health care.

Download or read book Your Pelvic Floor written by Kim Vopni and published by Watkins Media Limited. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first pelvic floor health book aimed at ALL women, including trans women, outlining the importance of understanding your pelvic floor and how it impacts on overall health, fitness and wellbeing for life - not just around pregnancy and childbirth. This book outlines symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction, and shows you how to fix them. What is pelvic organ prolapse - which 50% of women will experience - and can it be prevented? Urinary incontinence is treatable with physio. Women on average suffer symptoms for 7 years before going to a healthcare professional which has a huge effect on mental health. Pelvic floor issues are often only talked about in relation to pregnancy and childbirth. This is not just a "mum issue": high impact exercise (running, HIIT, CrossFit) affect the pelvic floor. Young athletes/gymnasts who have never had children are highly likely to suffer from incontinence. Women should not accept dysfunction as a "normal part of being a woman", but instead need to prioritize their pelvic floor health - this book shows that it is never too early and, crucially, never too late to do so.
