- Abstract
Introduction: The pelvic floor is intended to support internal organs, especially the uterus, bladder and rectum. However, any alteration in the pelvic cavity may result in dysfunction of the pelvic floor and pathological falling of the organs, characteristic of genital prolapses. Physical therapy improves symptoms related to genital prolapse as well as muscle strength of the floor. Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the most widely used physiotherapeutic procedures with proven efficacy in the treatment of prolapses. Methods: A survey of scientific articles and theses in databases was carried out, in which 716 studies were found. Of these, 9 were selected, 3 of which were randomized controlled clinical trials, 1 quasi-experimental and 5 reviews, published in the last 20 years. Results: A total of 430 women participated in the clinical studies, who underwent interventions such as: kinesiotherapy, hipopressive exercises and transvaginal electrostimulation. The review studies mention the effects of biofeedback and kinesiotherapy in the management of prolapses. Conclusion: From the approaches analyzed kinesiotherapy and hipopressive exercises are the most effective for the treatment of genital prolapse, but more studies are necessary to evaluate the real impact of these resources.
