Vaginal pressure sensor measurement during maximal voluntary pelvic floor contraction correlates with vaginal birth and pelvic organ prolapse—A pilot study

Aims To measure the force applied along the anterior and posterior vaginal walls in a cohort of 46 patients measured by a fiber‐optic pressure sensor and determine if this correlates with vaginal parity and pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Methods An intravaginal fiber‐optic sensor measured pressure at...
