First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether a four-week training program can improve pelvic floor muscle function in healthy young women. Participants are female medical students aged 18-28, divided into three groups: one doing breathing exercises, one doing pelvic floor contractions, and one combining both. Before and after the training, ultrasound imaging measures pelvic floor muscle activation. The study also checks participants' knowledge of pelvic floor anatomy and function. The goal is to see if these simple exercises can enhance muscle function and awareness.
