Summary

The study will be conducted on 40 women between the ages of 20-40 who volunteer to participate in the study. All participants will be selected from individuals who have been diagnosed with pelvic floor dysfunction and have no history of pelvic surgery. Pelvic floor dysfunction will be diagnosed by an Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialist. Participants will be divided into two groups as the Pelvic floor exercise group and the control group.

Conditions

  • Pelvic Floor Disorders

Interventions

OTHER

Pelvic floor exercises

The bladder should be emptied before the exercise. In order to correctly identify the pelvic floor muscles, it is necessary to initially try to hold urine while emptying the bladder. If the result is successful, it means that the correct muscles have contracted. During the learning phase, the exercise can be done in a supine position with the legs bent at the knees or in a sitting position. Initially, the pelvic floor muscles should be contracted for 5 seconds by pulling them inward as if stopping the passage of urine or gas, and then rested for 5 seconds.

OTHER

Control group

Women in this group who have been diagnosed with pelvic floor dysfunction will not be given any exercises. Women will continue their routine lives and their evaluations will be made.
