Effect of Pregnancy Process on Urinary System and Pelvic Floor and Nursing Approach
Journal Title: Bezmiâlem Science - Year 2020, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
The pelvic floor is a structure composed of layers of muscles and fascia that support the opening of the vagina, rectum and urethra together with the abdominopelvic cavity. Pelvic floor includes structures effective in maintaining continence and sexual function. Although chronic cough, obesity, constipation, vaginal surgeries, trauma, race and advancing age are responsible for the deterioration of pelvic integrity with increased intraabdominal pressure; the most important reasons for this are pregnancy and giving birth. In this review, the effects of pregnancy on urinary system and pelvic floor were examined and discussed in the light of current literature.
