Palpation evaluation of the pelvic floor condition should be among the basic examinations performed by all specialists, who participate in the therapy of urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, sexual dysfunctions, pelvic pain syndrome etc. It is not only the precondition for the establishment of correct diagnosis and optimal therapeutic procedure, but makes it possible to evaluate the results of therapy. The work was intended to present a survey of examination methods for evaluating functional condition of pelvic floor with emphasis to simple palpation vaginal examination according to the PERFECT scheme.
