dc.description.abstractNumber of women reporting dyspareunia at each time point from pre-pregnancy until 12 months after delivery was 27.8% at pre-pregnancy, 30.5% at gestational 22, 41.4% at gestational week 37, 44.6% at six months and 33.1 % at 12 months after delivery. The majority reported severity of dyspareunia as “a little”. There was no difference between women with and without dyspareunia in relation to PFM variables or delivery variables. Longitudinal data showed new cases of dyspareunia during pregnancy and after delivery, but total prevalence of dyspareunia declined throughout the study. Most women with dyspareunia prior to pregnancy and those with new symptoms during pregnancy were symptom free by 12 months after delivery. Other vaginal symptoms were prevalent (73.4%) 12 months after delivery, but few of the symptoms were severe, and 34.5% reported the symptoms to interfere with their sexual life. Overall bother of the vaginal symptoms were low (mean 1.4 out of 10). The women reporting “vagina feels loose or lax” had lower vaginal resting pressure, PFM strength and muscular endurance than women without the symptom; mean difference: 3.6 cmH2O (95%CI 0.7, 6.6), 9.0 cmH2O (95%CI 2.6, 15.4) and 80.0 cmH2Osec (95%CI 32.6, 127.5), respectively. Six months postpartum no significant difference in outcome variables between groups for the total study sample (n=175) or in the stratum with no defects (n=120) were found. In the stratum with major defects of the levator ani muscle (n=55) at post intervention significantly fewer women in the training group had symptoms of “vagina feels loose or lax” than the control group; RR: 0.55 (95% CI: 0.31, 0.95, p=0.03). The results indicate that PFMT may have a preventative effect of “vagina feels loose or lax” in women with major levator ani defects. Bias and minimal detectable change for Camtech AS was found to be -2.44 ±8.7 cmH2O for vaginal resting pressure, -0.22 ±7.6 cmH2O for PFM strength and 0.75 ±59.49 cmH2Osec for muscular endurance (intrarater). Bias and minimal detectable change was 1.36 ±9.0 cmH2O for vaginal resting pressure, 2.24 ±9.0 cmH2O for PFM strength and 15.89 ±69.7 cmH2Osec for muscular endurance (interrater). Camtech AS seems less accurate for the strongest women. A statistically significant improvement in PFM variables needs to exceed the minimal detectable change to be above the error of measurement.nb_NO
