Summary

This study tested a pelvic support girdle called FemmeJock in 100 women with pelvic organ prolapse. Participants wore the girdle during daytime physical activity for 3 months. The goal was to see if it improved symptoms like pelvic pressure and bulging, and whether women were satisfied enough to keep using it. This is a small pilot study, so results are preliminary.
