Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Scientific research in women’s health and pelvic health is rapidly evolving, now integrating dynamic, innovative therapies and multidisciplinary approaches. This field focuses on the prevention of dysfunctions, the promotion of health, the improvement of health literacy, and the implementation of educational therapies, treatments, and rehabilitation strategies. The aim of this field is to optimize women’s clinical outcomes, quality of life, and well-being throughout all stages of their life.
Intervention in women’s health is challenging due to anatomical, hormonal, and functional factors. Conditions such as pelvic floor dysfunction, endometriosis, urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and menopause represent complex and impactful clinical issues. Innovations in pelvic health care could be exploited to address women’s individual needs, promoting advances in preventive and therapeutic care.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Educational, preventive, and rehabilitation programs for pelvic dysfunctions.
- Technologies and innovations, as well as future trends in women’s health.
- Health promotion during pregnancy and postpartum, addressing both healthy women and those with associated conditions.
- Interventions in women’s health throughout all life stages.
This collection seeks to provide a platform for the dissemination of innovative research and inspire novel approaches to comprehensive care and the empowerment of women worldwide.
