Abstract
Hypothesis/aims of study. Despite the growing prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunction in women in the postpartum period, there is still no consensus on its etiology and pathogenesis. The prerequisite for serious disorders to occur in the future is the initial stages of pelvic floor dysfunction after childbirth, despite the fact that they occur without severe symptoms and, remaining undiagnosed in a timely manner, further reduce the quality of life of women. Despite the availability of information on causal relationships between childbirth and the appearance of pelvic floor dysfunctions, this knowledge among women of reproductive age is still limited, which warrants further study. A number of methods have been developed to assess the pelvic floor, among which are non-invasive techniques, including a quantitative assessment of the strength of contractions of the pelvic floor muscles, as well as techniques that assess the microcirculation of the vaginal wall. The aim of this study was to evaluate the parameters of the strength of contractions of the pelvic floor muscles and to identify possible correlations between the obtained parameters.
Study design, materials and methods. The study was carried out using methods for measuring the blood microcirculation of the vaginal wall using laser Doppler blood flowmetry in women after the first birth.
Results. We obtained indicators of the strength of contractions of the pelvic floor muscles and indicators of the blood microcirculation of the vaginal wall in primary women, and we revealed the dependence of the obtained indicators on the weight and age of the mother, as well as the weight of the fetus at birth.
Conclusion. The obtained indicators will allow a comprehensive assessment of the pelvic floor in primiparous women, as well as to identify possible risk groups for genital prolapse development in the future.
