In brief

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is a prevalent condition affecting women's quality of life due to the descent of pelvic organs caused by weak pelvic floor muscles (PFMs). This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) alone and PFMT combined with hypopressive exercises in improving pelvic floor muscle strength, reducing dyspareunia, and enhancing overall quality of life in women aged 45-65 diagnosed with stage I-II POP.This study will be randomized controlled trial and will be conducted in Qasim Sandhu Hospital, Muhammadi Medical Trust and Clinic 1. This will undergo 4 sessions totaling 1 month of treatment. . Non-probability convenience sampling technique will be used and 46 participants will be recruited in study after randomization.The subjects will be divided into two groups. Group A will receive pelvic floor muscle training with hypopressive exercises and Group B will receive pelvic floor muscle training without hypopressive exercises receiving baseline treatment.
