More awareness of CSS and valid individual counselling may overcome unnecessary surgery for POP and help in setting realistic expectations.

A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of Vaginal Cryotherapy for the Treatment of Pelvic Floor Myofascial Pain
ConclusionsPelvic floor myofascial pain with palpation improved following both a single cryotherapy session and 2 weeks of daily cryotherapy. Interestingly, pain scores also improved with room temperature therapy. Whether these findings reflect a therapeutic effect of both cold and room temperature intravaginal therapy or a placebo effect is unclear but should be explored in larger studies.

Effects of health education on women with urinary incontinence: systematic review and meta-analysis

However, the certainty of this evidence is low. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction)

Family medicine physician identification of obstetric lacerations: a US national survey
ConclusionsObstetric laceration diagnoses may be inaccurate, which could influence perinatal quality and patient outcomes. We found gaps in knowledge similar to previous reports on midwives and obstetricians in the USA. These data suggest a need for increased education and training on obstetric injuries, perhaps especially for physicians with less obstetric activity. Improved categorization and identification of vaginal delivery trauma can impact management and improve women ’s postpartum care and long-term pelvic floor outcomes.

Perineal lacerations and social media: can patients find reliable information on Instagram and TikTok?
ConclusionsCompared with TikTok, Instagram may be a more informative social media platform for educational or patient experience-related content. Given the paucity of physician-created content and given that only half of all posts are educational, providers should encourage social media engagement for community and networking purposes, while encouraging caution with regard to cosmetic products and advertisements.

The relationship between low back pain, pelvic tilt, and lumbar lordosis with urinary incontinence using the DIERS formetric 4D motion imaging system
ConclusionsWomen with UI were more likely to have lumbopelvic sagittal alignment changes and a higher visual analog scale for LBP. These findings show the need for assessment of lumbopelvic posture in women with UI. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction)
