Abstract: Objective To investigate and analyze the perception and demand of postpartum pelvic floor rehabilitation in women of childbearing age, and to explore the influencing factors, so as to provide the basis for clinical pelvic floor rehabilitation. Methods A self-designed survey on women of childbearing age was conducted to investigate their understanding of pelvic floor dysfunction and rehabilitation knowledge, demand and factors affecting their selection of rehabilitation treatment. Results Among women of childbearing age, 14.16% had pelvic floor dysfunction, 27.43% had no pelvic floor dysfunction and 58.41% had no examination and did not know. Most have heard of postpartum pelvic floor rehabilitation, but have not performed postpartum pelvic floor rehabilitation. About pelvic floor rehabilitation knowledge, the demand for life precautions was 87.61%. 42.48% of people are unclear about what pelvic floor rehabilitation treatment is among the factors affecting rehabilitation exercise. Conclusion Women of childbearing age have less knowledge about pelvic floor rehabilitation and “not knowing what pelvic floor rehabilitation is” is a major barrier to treatment.
