Summary

When participants present with symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI), the investigators will perform a comprehensive evaluation and initially provide conservative treatment. If conservative treatment fails, invasive treatment will be considered. The investigators will arrange a pelvic muscle training course two to three times a week for a duration of 1.5 months per course. However, participants may complain about the inconvenience of traffic, which may lead to discontinuation of the pelvic training course. Therefore, the investigators propose the development of a home-based pelvic muscle training device and will collaborate with information engineering specialists at Tamkang University to invent the device for home-based pelvic muscle training.

Detailed description

The investigators will enroll participants with SUI or POP and allocate them into either the home-based pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) group or traditional PFMT group. Participant satisfaction will be evaluated using a questionnaire score.
