First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether stretching the pelvic floor muscles can reduce pain and improve quality of life in postmenopausal women aged 45-55 who have chronic pelvic pain. Sixty women took part, and the researchers measured pain levels and menopausal symptoms before and after the stretching program. The goal was to see if a non-surgical, drug-free approach could help ease discomfort.
