Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if perineal massage combined with hip joint training works to improve pelvic function (urinary incontinence, constipation and hip motion) in pregnant women. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the perineal massage combined with hip joint training lower the prevalence of participants who have urinary incontinence and constipation? Does the perineal massage combined with hip joint training improve the flexibility of the hip joint? Researchers will compare an intervention (perineal massage combined with hip joint training) to a comparison(regular training and treatment) to see if the intervention (perineal massage combined with hip joint training) works to improve pelvic function. Participants will: receive the intervention (perineal massage combined with hip joint training ) or regular training and treatment fifth a week at 36 weeks gestation before participants receive first-time intervention, they complete Demographic sociological , ICI-Q-LF, Wexner constipation and hip motion questionnaires

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
pelvic floor function(constipation)
using the Wexner Constipation Scoring System (lowest score, 0; Highest score, 30, contain 8 questions) to assess the outcomes of constipation. total score greater than 15 indicates constipation.the higher the score, the more difficult it is to defecate.
the outcomes will be assessed at 1.before the first time intervention at 36 gestational age. 2.receive intervention 10 times during two weeks(5 times/week). the results will reported through study completion, an average 3 months.
pelvic floor function (urinary incontinence score)
using the ICI-Q-SF (containing 4 questions) to assess the degree of urinary incontinence. the higher the score, the worse the incontinence.
the outcomes will be assessed at 1.before the first time intervention at 36 gestational age. 2.receive intervention 10 times during two weeks(5 times/week). the results will reported through study completion, an average 3 months.
Secondary Outcomes (1)
hip motion
the outcomes will be assessed at 1.before the first time intervention at 36 gestational age. 2.receive intervention 10 times during two weeks(5 times/week). the results will reported through study completion, an average 3 months.

Interventions
pregnant women take the lithotomy position, disinfect the vulva, and wear sterile gloves. Then thumbs, forefingers, and middle fingers dip massage oil to do a 2 minutes pressurized dilatation massage from inside to outside gently to loosen the fascia. Then rest 30s. All steps need to be repeated 2 to 3 times. When the pregnant women feel a slight sense of acidity and tingling sensation disappears, researchers sterilize the perineal body again. left side pelvic floor receives the same intervention as right. The whole process takes 15-20min, 5 times a week until delivery. Additionally, while using the pelvic floor fascia manipulation, pregnant women are instructed to perform specific movements of internal and external hip rotation, adduction and abduction, upward and downward.

- Masking Details
- when the participants are enrolled in this study, they will be allocated to groups randomly by an independent researcher and sign the consent form. The care providers will not know the outcomes of this study, they just provide treatment for pregnant women; therefore, the care providers could be masked. an independent investigator will send a questionnaire to the participant, and the investigator does not know the intervention participants received; thus they could be masked.
