Interventions

OTHER

pelvic floor muscle exercises

Before the pelvic floor exercises are taught to all women participating in the study, a brief informational training about the function and structure of the pelvic floor and pelvis will be given using visuals. The application protocol will be given by experienced specialist physiotherapists who have received special training on pelvic floor muscle training. In this study, the training protocol described by Mørkved et al and Bø et al will be used. An exercise series will consist of slow and fast muscle contractions of the pelvic floor muscles. The exercise series will include 10 reps of maximum pelvic floor muscle contraction held for 6 seconds followed by three rapid muscle contractions. A 10-second rest period will be given between each exercise series. A total of 5 minutes, 4 repetitions of pelvic floor muscle contraction series will be applied, including the rest period.
