Muscles of the Pelvic Floor and Perineum01:26

Muscles of the Pelvic Floor and Perineum

6.8K
The muscles of the pelvic floor and perineum are crucial for supporting the pelvic organs, controlling continence, and aiding in sexual function, childbirth, and core stability. They are typically divided into the superficial perineal layer and the deep pelvic floor layer.
Perineal Layer
The perineum is a diamond-shaped area below the pelvic diaphragm, divided into an anterior urogenital triangle that contains the external genitals and a posterior anal triangle housing the anus. The urogenital...

Drugs for Treatment of Constipation-Predominant IBS

1.4K
Pharmacological therapies for IBS-C are designed to alleviate abdominal discomfort and enhance bowel function. In patients with IBS-C, fiber supplements may help soften stools and decrease straining, but may also lead to increased gas production and bloating. Osmotic laxatives like milk of magnesia are frequently used to soften stools and increase stool frequency in IBS-C patients. In addition, two drugs approved for use in severe IBS-C adult cases are linaclotide (Linzess) and lubiprostone...

Urodynamic Studies: Uroflowmetry

9.3K
Uroflowmetry is a non-invasive urodynamic test designed to measure various aspects of urination, including volume, flow rate, and the time to void. This test is crucial for diagnosing and assessing conditions such as bladder outlet obstruction, bladder dysfunction, incomplete bladder emptying, incontinence, and urinary tract blockages caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and urethral strictures.Pre-Test Instructions:Before a uroflowmetry test, patients are typically advised to drink...

Chest Physiotherapy01:24

Chest Physiotherapy

2.9K
Chest Physiotherapy (CPT) is a therapeutic technique used in respiratory care to improve ventilation, clear bronchial secretions, and enhance the efficiency of respiratory muscles. This therapy includes three primary procedures: postural drainage, percussion, and vibration. It can be performed on spontaneously breathing patients and those who are intubated and mechanically ventilated.
Purpose
CPT is primarily used for patients with excessive bronchial secretions who have difficulty clearing...

Drugs for Treatment of Diarrhea-Predominant IBS

999
Diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) is a subtype of IBS characterized primarily by frequent, loose, or watery stools, abdominal pain, and abdominal discomfort. Therapeutic approaches to managing IBS-D include dietary changes, stress management techniques, and pharmaceutical interventions.
Two specific drugs used in the treatment are alosetron (Lotronex) and eluxadoline (Viberzi). Alosetron, a 5-HT3 antagonist, works by slowing the movement of stools in the gut, reducing bowel...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

Background:

  • Obstructive defecation is a common condition impacting quality of life.
  • Current treatments include pharmacotherapy and behavioral interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy of biofeedback-guided pelvic floor exercise therapy (BFT) with oral polyethylene glycol (PEG) for treating obstructive defecation.

Main Methods:

  • 88 subjects with obstructive defecation were randomized to BFT (n=44) or oral PEG (n=44).
  • Constipation symptoms, Wexner Scores, and quality of life were assessed at 1, 3, and 6 months.

Main Results:

  • BFT group showed significantly greater improvement in evacuation difficulty, stool consistency, laxative dependence, pain, and satisfaction at 6 months (P < 0.05).
  • Wexner Constipation Scores and quality of life significantly improved in the BFT group compared to the PEG group (P < 0.05).

Conclusions:

  • Manometric biofeedback-guided pelvic floor exercise training is superior to oral polyethylene glycol for obstructive defecation.
  • BFT offers a more effective therapeutic approach for improving constipation-related symptoms and patient well-being.
