Impact of sexual activity on bulbocavernosus muscle stiffness assessed by shear wave elastography in women
Sexual activity may positively influence BCM stiffness, which could lead to improved pelvic floor muscle function and potentially enhance sexual health. A moderate correlation between BCM stiffness during MVC and the orgasm domain of the FSFI, suggesting a possible biomechanical association between BCM function and sexual function. Further research is needed to confirm this relationship and explore its clinical implications.
