About

The childbirth is one of the risk factors for pelvic organ prolapse. In order to prevent the pelvic organ prolapse, the physicians do not routinely advice any exercises after deliveries. The investigators wondered if the mode of deliveries such as ceserean section, vaginal route delivery with episiotomy or vaginal route delivery without episiotomy effect the pelvic floor function differently or not. In order to evaluate this, the investigators are planning to measure the muscle tonus in primiparous women.
