Associations of pelvic floor dysfunction and postnatal mental health: a systematic review

DISCUSSION: Most studies included for review found consistent associations between PFD and adverse mental health conditions. Healthcare providers should screen for PFD and postnatal mental health conditions early in the postpartum period. Future research should investigate whether the treatment of PFD can modify the associations between PFD and postnatal mental health conditions.PMID:38357811 | DOI:10.1080/02646838.2024.2314720
