TL;DR: The risk of pelvic floor disorders is independently associated with vaginal delivery but not with parity alone, and Cesarean delivery has a protective effect, similar to nulliparity, on the development of pelvicfloor disorders when compared with vaginal Delivery.

TL;DR: Two years after vaginal surgery for prolapse and stress urinary incontinence, neither ULS nor SSLF was significantly superior to the other for anatomic, functional, or adverse event outcomes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the associations between parity, mode of delivery, and pelvic floor disorders and found that the risk of pelvic floor disorder is independently associated with vaginal delivery but not with parity alone, while there were no significant differences in the prevalence of disorders between the cesarean delivery and nulliparous groups.

TL;DR: Although the prevalence of pelvic floor disorders in a community-dwelling population is high, age was not a significant contributor after adjustment for confounders, including obesity, birth history, menopause, and hormones.

TL;DR: Clinicians should prioritize urinary incontinence detection, identify and treat modifiable factors, incorporate patient preference into evaluation and treatment, initiate conservative and medical therapy, and refer to specialists when underlying pathology is identified or conservative measures are ineffective.
