Summary

The incidence of gynecological cancer and the related death rates in the world are increasing every year. Unfortunately, pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) such as pelvic pain, dyspareunia, vaginal stenosis, and urinary incontinence can result from specific cancer treatments.

Our aim in our study is to examine the effects of aerobic exercise training in addition to pelvic floor muscle training on pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms, pelvic floor muscle strength and endurance, quality of life, functional capacity and fatigue in women surviving gynecological cancer with pelvic floor dysfunction.

Patients diagnosed with gynecological cancer and undergoing treatment will be invited to our research. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria and agree to participate will be divided into two groups as Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT) and PFMT+Aerobic Exercise by block randomization method.

For evaluation,We will use the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PTDE-20), Pelvic Floor Impact Scale with digital palpation, EORTC QLQ-C30, 6 Minute Walk Test and Piper Fatigue Scale.

Conditions

  • Gynecologic Cancer
  • Pelvic Floor Disorders
  • Aerobic Exercise

Interventions

OTHER

PFMT

Pelvic floor muscle training will be given to patients with strengthening and endurance exercises for 8 weeks. PFMT will be applied at a patient-specific progression for 8 weeks.Exercises will be given in different positions (supine, sitting, etc.).

OTHER

Aerobic Exercise

Aerobic exercise will be applied as a progressive program in the form of a walking program, at least 4 days a week for 8 weeks. There will be 5-minute warm-up and cool-down periods (walking at a light pace) before and after exercise.
