Brief Summary

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

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.

Detailed Description

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

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. Group distributions will be made by randomization.org website. Participants in the pelvic floor exercise group will be instructed to do daily pelvic floor exercises under the guidance of a physiotherapist specialized in pelvic health. No exercises will be given to women diagnosed with pelvic floor dysfunction in this group. Women will continue their routine lives and their evaluations will be made.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Pelvic floor exercise group

Participants will be instructed to perform daily pelvic floor exercises under the guidance of a physical therapist specializing in pelvic health. The exercises focus on isolated pelvic muscle contractions and core muscle engagement. The exercises will be performed 3 times per day for 6 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Pelvic floor exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

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.

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.
