Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pelvic floor disorders are prevalent among the adult female population. The consequences of these issues can extend beyond physical discomfort, potentially resulting in psychological distress, such as anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. In addition, given the global demographic shift towards an ageing population, these issues are expected to increase in the coming years.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic floor disorders, such as urinary and anal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and sexual dysfunction. We hereby invite you to submit original articles, clinical reviews, and meta-analyses on this topic.
As women continue to live longer, we hope to promote dialogue among physicians on these issues in order to identify the most advanced diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to mitigating their impact on women's quality of life. By consolidating cutting-edge research and clinical insights, this Special Issue will help shape the future of female pelvic medicine.
