Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: Patients reporting a history of abuse had a significantly higher rate of preoperative pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, 91% vs 31% (p<0.001).Successful dilation at 3 months in all patients was 89%.CONCLUSIONS: Pelvic floor physical therapists identify and help patients resolve pelvic floor-related problems before and after surgery.We find strong support for PFPT for patients undergoing gender-affirming vaginoplasty.Further study is needed to determine if this improves outcomes with dilation or neovaginal stenosis.
