| Abstract | ||
| Peri- and post-menopausal women are at an increased risk of pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD). As a term for a wide range of medical conditions, it may refer to everything from incontinence and abnormalities to prolapse and sexual dysfunction. When used for morpho-functional evaluation, MRI may be a valuable asset. An important goal of this new, forward-looking study was to compare dynamic and static magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in evaluating female pelvic floor diseases and identify any commonalities. Study Subjects and Procedures: Clinical and dynamic/static magnetic resonance imaging tests were performed on 65 women in total (55 cases and 10 controls). Those in the patient population who have symptoms such as chronic constipation, obstructed bowels, prolapsed pelvic floor, stress incontinence, or anal incontinence should be referred. Static and dynamic MRI were used on all of the participants. Overall, the mean patient age was 39 years (SD: 14 years). Concerning the relationship between static and dynamic testing, muscle and fascial defects were shown to be the most common defect in people with constipation, pelvic organ prolapse, and stress urine incontinence. Anal incontinence was associated with anal sphincter complex impairment. As a result, structural and functional changes may be identified using static and dynamic MRI, making it an important tool in the evaluation of female patients with PMS. | ||
