Sponsor's own description

According to the experts in charge of the healthcare department in the Liangshan area, Liangshan is one of the largest Yi inhabited areas in China. Influenced by local culture and production history, most women there are multiparas, with more than one child, and their awareness of postpartum recovery is relatively weak. Therefore, the prevalence and incidence rate of pelvic floor dysfunction diseases is high in the Liangshan area.

In addition, women in the Liangshan area shoulder the responsibility of taking care of family members, farmland, and livestock. They play an important role in family production, which guarantees the opportunity for other family members to go out to work. However, pelvic floor dysfunction can be manifested by persistent pelvic distension, frequent urination, the urgency of urination, difficulty in urination or defecation, and pain or difficulty in sexual intercourse, which decreases the quality of normal life, and the efficiency of production, posing many psychological problems and family contradictions.

There is no research to prove the exact intervention measures that can effectively improve the pelvic floor function of women in Liangshan ethnic minority areas. This study aims to promote the formation of women's healthy living habits and behaviors, improve women's pelvic floor function, and then develop the quality of life and labor output of local women through intervention including health knowledge education and pelvic floor muscle exercise.
