PFMT+BF+ES = pelvic floor muscle training with biofeedback and electrical stimulation. PFMT+ES = pelvic floor muscle training and electrical stimulation. PFMT+VW = pelvic floor muscle training with vaginal weights. PFMT +BF+ES+VW = pelvic floor muscle training with biofeedback, electrical stimulation and vaginal weights. PFMT+BF+VW = pelvic floor muscle training with biofeedback and vaginal weights.
