Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) refers to a group of disorders caused by damage or dysfunction of the pelvic floor muscles and their supporting structures, leading to a disruption in the normal function of pelvic organs. It is commonly seen in women, especially postpartum or during menopause, and manifests clinically as urinary incontinence, constipation, pelvic organ prolapse, and sexual dysfunction. With increasing research into pelvic floor muscle function, diverse treatment methods have emerged, including conservative treatments such as pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), biofeedback, electrical stimulation therapy, and surgical interventions. This article reviews the latest progress in these treatments, analyzes their clinical efficacy, and explores future directions.
