Too tight to give birth?: assessment of pelvic floor muscle function in 277 nulliparous pregnant women
Bø, Kari; Hilde, Gunvor; Jensen, Jette Stær; Siafarikas, Franziska; Engh, Marie Ellstrøm (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-06-08)Introduction and hypothesis: Theoretically, tight or strong pelvic floor muscles may impair the progress of labor and lead to instrumental deliveries. We aimed to investigate whether vaginal resting pressure, pelvic floor ... -
