Evaluating the Long-Term Impact of Electrical Stimulation Biofeedback Combined with Pelvic Floor Muscle Training for Postpartum Pelvic Organ Prolapse

A randomized controlled trial shows that adding electrical stimulation biofeedback to pelvic floor muscle training offers limited long-term anatomical improvement for postpartum pelvic organ prolapse but improves muscle strength without significant quality-of-life gains.

Most Women Have Anterior-Apical Prolapse, But Phenotype Does Not Predict Recurrence After Native Tissue Repair

A combined analysis of 704 women found that anterior-predominant and apical prolapse is the most common phenotype (67.2%) in women undergoing native tissue apical surgery. While symptomatic recurrence ranged from 0% to 29% across phenotype groups, prolapse phenotype itself was not significantly associated with recurrence, challenging assumptions about anatomic subtypes as predictors of surgical outcomes.
