Pelvic floor dysfunction one year after first childbirth in relation to perineal tear severity

Abstract The aims of this study were to evaluate pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms one year after delivery and investigate whether adverse functional outcomes after childbirth were related to the degree of perineal injury. A prospective cohort of 776 primiparas were included. Self-reported pelvic fl...
