Factors Affecting Cost:

① Severity of pelvic floor muscle condition: If the pelvic floor muscles are only mildly relaxed, the repair process is relatively simple and the cost may be lower. In cases of severe relaxation, the repair is more complex and the cost increases accordingly.

② Type of procedure: There are various pelvic floor repair procedures, and costs may vary depending on the specific type.

③ Physician experience: More experienced doctors can more accurately assess the condition and perform appropriate treatments, which may result in higher fees. Less experienced physicians may charge less.

If pelvic floor muscle repair is needed, it is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and undergo treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician. In daily life, ensure adequate rest and sleep, avoid strenuous exercise, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy or irritating foods such as Sichuan pepper and chili peppers to support overall health.
