Abstract

Introduction and hypothesis: This study examines the effectiveness of yoga intervention on the early postpartum recovery of pelvic organ positions.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted from May to November 2020, involving women who had vaginal deliveries and underwent pelvic floor ultrasound examinations. The control group received no intervention, whereas the experimental group participated in weekly 60-min yoga sessions from 1 week to 3 months postpartum. Pelvic organ positions, including the bladder neck, uterus, and rectal ampulla, were measured via ultrasound at rest and during the Valsalva maneuver at 42 days and 3 months postpartum. The effectiveness of yoga was assessed using t tests.

Results: A total of 128 women participated, with 66 in the control group and 62 in the experimental group. There were no significant differences between groups in age, parity, BMI, or fetal weight (p > 0.05). At 42 days postpartum, there were no significant changes in bladder neck and uterine positions at rest, except for a significant decrease in rectal ampulla position in the control group (p < 0.01). During the Valsalva maneuver, the experimental group showed significant improvement in all pelvic organ positions at 3 months compared with 42 days (p < 0.001), with better outcomes than the control group (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: Yoga intervention supports early postpartum recovery of pelvic organ positions.

期刊介绍： The International Urogynecology Journal is the official journal of the International Urogynecological Association (IUGA).The International Urogynecology Journal has evolved in response to a perceived need amongst the clinicians, scientists, and researchers active in the field of urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders. Gynecologists, urologists, physiotherapists, nurses and basic scientists require regular means of communication within this field of pelvic floor dysfunction to express new ideas and research, and to review clinical practice in the diagnosis and treatment of women with disorders of the pelvic floor. This Journal has adopted the peer review process for all original contributions and will maintain high standards with regard to the research published therein. The clinical approach to urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders will be emphasized with each issue containing clinically relevant material that will be immediately applicable for clinical medicine. This publication covers all aspects of the field in an interdisciplinary fashion
