Urinary and fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and pelvic pain are examples of pelvic health conditions. A scoping review was conducted to understand what is currently known about pelvic health conditions experienced by Indigenous populations worldwide. To date, no such review has been reported.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A scoping review methodology was used. In February 2024, a search was conducted, capturing both primary and grey literature. An iterative process of abstract and full text screening was conducted by two reviewers before proceeding to data extraction. Inclusion criteria focused on English publications and reports of pelvic health conditions experienced by Indigenous peoples. Data was collected in Google Sheets, and then underwent descriptive statistical analysis. Publications that provided qualitative data were further analyzed using thematic analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 242 publications were included in the analysis. Several patterns emerged: most publications originated from English-speaking regions, fewer than half of publications specifically recruited Indigenous peoples, women participated in more studies than men, and bladder conditions were most frequently reported. Perceptions of pelvic health conditions and experiences with help seeking and the health care system were described. Notable gaps were a lack of publications and representation of Indigenous peoples from China, Russia, and Nordic countries, minimal representation of gender diverse populations, few publications reporting on auto-immune and bowel conditions, and limited mention of trauma-informed and culturally safe approaches.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study highlights gaps in the current literature around gender representation, bowel and auto-immune conditions, regional representation, and the use of safety frameworks, which may inform future research initiatives. It also summarizes the existing literature, which may inform clinical and health system-level decision making.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0307010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,3]],"date-time":"2025-04-03T14:53:45Z","timestamp":1743692025000},"page":"e0307010","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Experiences of Indigenous peoples living with pelvic health conditions: A scoping review"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6743-9486","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Kaeleigh","family":"Brown","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katherine","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Esther","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sandra M.","family":"Campbell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jane","family":"Schulz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pertice","family":"Moffitt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Susan","family":"Chatwood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0307010.ref001","author":"United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues"},{"key":"pone.0307010.ref002","author":"Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada","year":"2015"},{"key":"pone.0307010.ref003","year":"2023 Jan"},{"key":"pone.0307010.ref004","volume-title":"2021 State of","author":"Reconciliation Australia","year":"2021"},{"key":"pone.0307010.ref005","author":"United Nations","year":"Sep 7, 2007"},{"key":"pone.0307010.ref006","first-page":"1","volume-title":"The health of Indigenous peoples [Internet].
