Introduction to the Program

Provide quality care, the midwife must know the best way to deal with pelvic floor pathologies"

This course will provide an in-depth review of the anatomy of the female perineum and will study in detail all the ailments that may appear in the short, medium and long term as a result of the alteration of some of the structures of the perineum. This subject will be approached both from the perspective of prevention and treatment, with emphasis on pelvic floor rehabilitation.

This training will cover in detail the management of perineal trauma in the pregnant woman, since it is also one of the main reasons for women to consult the midwife in primary care and the midwife in the emergency department of hospitals.

Although the follow-up of pathologies related to the pelvic floor is carried out by specialist doctors (urologists and gynecologists) and also by physiotherapists, it is becoming increasingly common for the midwife to identify and begin to provide care for women who come to the health center with problems related to the pelvic floor. In addition, the health programs that midwives carry out in primary care should include the promotion of care and prevention of pelvic floor injuries in women during pregnancy and the puerperium.

The midwife is the health professional in charge of providing comprehensive care for women's sexual, reproductive and maternal health. It is often a woman's gateway to the health system, both from the preconception consultation and pregnancy follow-up.

On the other hand, female genital mutilation will also be studied, as the midwife plays a vital role as an active member of the prevention network.
