1. How to check pelvic floor function.

Today I am talking about pelvic floor ultrasound, which is the preferred imaging method for diagnosing pelvic floor dysfunction, which is real-time, simple, fast and accurate. Before the patient develops symptoms, the abnormality of the pelvic floor structure should be detected in time, and early detection, early diagnosis, early intervention, and early recovery should be made. At the optimal time, the body can be restored to its optimal state and the quality of life can be improved.
