This study was carried out in an attempt to determine the efficacy of biofeedback and pelvic floor muscles training on genital prolapse. Forty volunteers women suffering from mild to moderate degree of genital prolapse of any type either vaginal {anterior wall (cystocele) or posterior wall (rectocele)} and uterine or a combination as confirmed by their gynaecologist on vaginal examination.They were selected from out-patient clinic of gynecology of Kasr Ainy University Hospital. They were divided randomly into two groups equal in number: group (A) or control group who was received pelvic floor muscles exercises treatment program ( for 20 minutes). group (B) or study group who was received pelvic floor muscles exercises (20 minutes /session) in addition to biofeedback treatment program (20 minutes). Both groups were received pelvic floor muscles exercises program as a home routine with a prolapse lifestyle advices leaflet through the study period. Duration of treatment for the both groups (A & B) was 3 times per week for12 weeks. Assessment of the strength of pelvic floor muscles, the level of genital prolapse and the severity of the symptoms of genital prolapse, were measured to each woman before and after the end of the treatment program. The results revealed that there was a highly significant increase (P<0.001) of the strength of pelvic floor muscles, a highly significant decrease (P<0.001) of the level of the genital prolapse and a highly significant increase (P<0.001) of the improvement of the severity of the symptoms of genital prolapse in group (B) compared togroup (A).So that could be concluded that biofeedback and pelvic floor muscles training were effective methods for the treatment of genital prolapse
