Translabial three-dimensional ultrasound investigation of the levator hiatus in postpartum women
Conclusions
Postpartum women are prone to develop pelvic floor dysfunction as shown by an enlarged levator hiatus. Translabial three-dimensional ultrasound can be used to effectively assess the morphology and structural alterations of the levator hiatus in postpartum women, providing reliable pelvic floor imaging for early screening, diagnosis, and prevention of pelvic floor dysfunction.
