Since pediatric and adolescent gynaecology (PAG) providers perform the majority of vaginoplasty procedures for developmental anomalies of the female reproductive tract (such as vaginal agenesis), this commentary supports the position that PAG providers should be involved in the pre- and postoperative care of trans women. Transabdominal ultrasound (TAU) is an easy and noninvasive way to evaluate and retrain pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function. The purpose of this study was to compare PFM activity in women with and without urinary incontinence (UI) by measuring bladder base displacement (as a marker for PFM activity) using TAU during PFM contraction, Valsalva's maneuver, and abdominal curl. Sixty-three women, aged 20-55 years, volunteered to participate in this cross-sectional study 21 were continent and 42 had UI (21 stress urinary incontinence [SUI] and 21 mixed urinary incontinence [MUI]). Mean bladder base displacement in millimeters was measured to evaluate differences between the three groups (continent, SUI, and MUI) and also between the continent and UI groups during the performance of each maneuver. No significant differences were seen between the three groups in bladder base elevation during PFM contraction (P > 0.05). Descent of the bladder base during Valsalva's maneuver and abdominal curl was significantly greater in women with SUI and MUI than in women in the continent group (P < 0.05). Comparison of the continent and UI groups showed no significant differences in elevation of the bladder base during PFM contraction, while descent of the bladder base was significantly greater in women with UI than in women in the continent group during Valsalva's maneuver and abdominal curl (P < 0.05). TAU indicated that bladder base descent w
