Abstract

Despite the recognition of the fact that the only effective method of PFD treatment is surgical, even with underestimated criteria for success, doctors in modern realities have to deal with recurrent prolapse and postoperative complications.

Thus, given the widespread prevalence of pelvic floor muscle deficiency syndrome among women of reproductive age, the search for new ways to correct this condition is an urgent issue in the modern world.
