Abstract
Back ground Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common condition that can significantly impact a woman’s quality of life. Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is recommended as a first-line conservative treatment for prolapse, but evidence on its effectiveness from low-resource settings is limited.
