Abstract

Pelvic floor disorders, including urinary incontinence and dysfunctional pelvic organs, have a significant impact on patients' quality of life. This analysis aimed to systematically review and synthesize current evidence on the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training and related articles in the management of pelvic floor disorders. This methodology relied on databases available in PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library for studies published from 2018 to 2025. Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials evaluating the effects of pelvic floor muscle training on urinary incontinence symptoms, pelvic floor muscle strength, and quality of life in patients. Data were extracted and compiled using a randomized effects meta-analysis of intervention effectiveness. Eight studies were reviewed, covering diverse population groups, including women with stress urinary incontinence, endometriosis, and postpartum recovery. PFMT was consistently associated with a significant reduction in symptoms and improved quality of life. Furthermore, the supervised methods demonstrated that Additional treatments, such as lifestyle modifications and digital health interventions, have shown improved efficacy and adherence, but limited evidence supports the routine use of biofeedback compared to traditional PFMT.
