It manifests as Urinary and faecal incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. The present evidence is not conclusive about the need and long term benefits of pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation. Objectives: The present study is aimed to study the effect of antenatal and postnatal rehabilitation of the pelvic floor by pelvic floor muscle training. Methods: The occurrence of pelvic floor muscle. The dysfunction will be assessed periodically in a cohort of women who receive pelvic floor muscle training antenatally and postnatally and compared with that in a comparable cohort of women who didn__ampersandsignrsquo;t receive. Results: The anticipated results are that the pelvic floor muscle dysfunction will be significantly more in women who did not receive muscle training. Conclusion: The occurrence of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction will be significantly more in a cohort of women who receive pelvic floor muscle training antenatally and postnatally and compared with that in a comparable cohort of women who didn__ampersandsignrsquo;t receive.&#13;
