Summary

This is a randomized clinical trial that will be carried out in people with endometriosis divided into two groups: the experimental group (EG) that will receive therapeutic exercise combine with sexual education, and the control group (CG) who will receive the therapeutic exercise program.

The participants will be evaluated at three moments: before starting the study (T1), after the 8-week treatment program (T2) and after 4 weeks of follow-up in which they will be encouraged to continue with the treatment (T3). Objective and subjective data of the participants will be evaluated. T1 will be assessed with a sociodemographic questionnaire and the FSFI and MSSCQ surveys. T2 and T3 will assess blood pressure, heart rate, variability of the autonomic system, the ability to dissociate the lumbopelvic movement from the thoracolumbar, measurement of the muscles of the transverse, internal and external obliques, the distance between the rectus abdominis and the pelvic floor, subjective perception of effort during exercise and subjective perception of orgasmic intensity.

PROCEDURE

Therapeutic Exercise

It will consist of an 8-week intervention divided into 2 weekly sessions, in which functional exercise will be combined with aerobic exercise. A progressive protocol will be carried out.The sessions will last approximately 60 minutes divided into a first aerobic part which will serve as a warm-up for the functional part, then a main part with approximately 6 exercises and, finally, a cool-down of 3 to 5 minutes with relaxation exercises and stretching.

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Therapeutic exercise and sexual education

The sexual education part will consist of a 4-week intervention divided into 1 session every two weeks in an online format, in which topics related to the pathology and self-knowledge will be addressed. The sessions will last approximately 60 minutes, divided into a first part of reception and welcome of the group (lasting approximately 5-10 minutes), then the main content will be divided differently in each session (the explicit content of each session will be detailed later) and will end with a farewell and closing of the online session (lasting approximately 5-10 minutes) together with the explanation of the homework. In addition, they will also carry out the therapeutic exercise protocol.
