The aim of the ADAPT study is to investigate whether a structured, group-based follow-up programme can improve quality of life related to anal incontinence in women with OASI during the first year after childbirth. The study will also describe how symptoms change over time and assess effects on mental health, sexual function, symptoms of prolapse and urinary incontinence, and body image.
