Brief Summary

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

The high incidence of gynecological cancers, together with dyspareunia and vaginal stenosis, some of its most frequent sequelae, create the need to continue studying and researching oncological physiotherapy techniques that treat and prevent these sequelae, in order to preserve and/or improve the quality of life of cancer patients. Therefore, through this study, we sought to verify the effectiveness of oncological perineal massage to treat pain during sexual intercourse and vaginal stenosis.

The objective of this study will be to demonstrate the effectiveness of a treatment that will consist of a health education session related to the pelvic floor and the consequences related to cancer along with ten sessions of oncological perineal massage that will be carried out for fifty minutes, once a week.

Study Groups

Perineal massage

Ten sessions of perineal massage, which will be carried out for fifty minutes, once a week, together with a health education program.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Perineal massage

Intervention Type OTHER

The technique will be applied for approximately twenty minutes and will be carried out as follows: the vaginal dilator is introduced progressively using crescent-shaped movements. Once the dilator is fully inserted, movements will be made from bottom to top and from one side to the other, and then continue with the crescent-shaped movements.

Treatment with dilators

A health education session will be held but then the use of vaginal dilators will be done according to the gold standard treatment.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Standard treatment

Intervention Type OTHER

The treatment will consist of the use of vaginal dilators according to the gold standard proposed in the literature. It will consist of introducing the same dilators as for the experimental group, with the same time schedule, but without massage, only introducing the dilator and keeping it in the vagina for 20 minutes.
