Abstract
POP-specific QOL gradually worsened compared with patients immediately after supervised PFMT in mild to moderate POP women who were followed up without surgery at a 2-year follow-up. Adherence to home-based PFMT might decline without further supervision. It might indicate that to PFMT would be required to maintain symptoms and QOL in medium term. Further study will be needed to clarify if PFMT is effective to improve urogenital symptoms and QOL in long term among the patients with POP.
