Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Alteration of hormonal structure and decreasing of muscle tissue with aging causes pelvic floor dysfunction. Over age of 65 so many factors such as decrease in volume of muscle tissue, decrease in the amount of estrogen / testosterone, and low level of physical activity cause problems such as incontinence, prolapse, constipation and sexual dysfunction The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of pelvic floor exercise program on sexual dysfunction, incontinence, quality of life and physical activity level in elderly.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Pelvic floor problems including prolapse, voiding and defecation dysfunction have been seen in approximately 37% of women aged 60-79 years and incontinence is the leading pelvic floor dysfunction. The International Incontinence Society (ICS)defines that all types of involuntarily urinary leakage as urinary incontinence. The incidence of urinary incontinence is 26.6% in women aged 65-74 and 41.8% in patients aged 75 and over. Sexual dysfunction is also frequently encountered problem in pelvic floor disorders in people older than 65 years. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of pelvic floor exercise program on sexual dysfunction, incontinence, quality of life and physical activity level in elderly. Pelvic floor exercises programme contains different contractions of pelvic floor muscle. Each exercises have slow and fast twitch muscle exercise contraction.
