| Core Tip |
Postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction mainly presents with a mixture of physiological changes and severe psychological problems; anxious reactions arising from mothers’ overly intense self-assessment have also appeared. The burden of pelvic floor symptoms is positively correlated with the degree of psychological problems; therefore, patients presenting with more severe pelvic floor symptoms will have higher levels of anxiety or depression. Poor quality of sleep and a lack thereof also contribute to this problem; thus, they are essential moderators. The above data show that integrating regular psychological screening content in the postpartum period of pelvic-facility-follow-up programme for women will not only help them recover health comprehensively but also improve their overall quality of life. |
