Effectiveness of Biofeedback-Assisted Pelvic Floor Muscle Training on Sexual Function and Quality of Life in Patient After Hysterectomy
20. august 2026 oppdatert av: Rana Hosny Abd Elhamid Ghazy, Kafrelsheikh University
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of biofeedback-assisted pelvic floor muscle training in improving pelvic floor muscle strength, decreasing urinary incontinence symptoms, reducing genital prolaps and enhancing the quality of life in women after hysterectomy.

Detaljert beskrivelse
Hysterectomy, the surgical removal of the uterus, remains one of the most frequently performed gynecological procedures worldwide, indicated for both malignant and benign conditions.
Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is a common complication after hysterectomy, manifesting as urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and colorectal symptoms.
Conventional pelvic floor rehabilitation focuses on pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), widely known as Kegel exercises, to strengthen weakened muscles and improve continence.

Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|

Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI)
Tidsramme: 12 weeks of intervention
|
Female sexual function will be assessed using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), a validated 19-item questionnaire evaluating six domains: desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain.
The total FSFI score ranges from 2 to 36, with higher scores indicating better sexual function.
The change in total FSFI score from baseline to the end of the 12-week intervention will be compared between the two study groups.

Pelvic Floor Muscle Strength
Tidsramme: 12 weeks of intervention
|
Pelvic floor muscle strength will be assessed using an electromyographic (EMG)-based biofeedback device with an intravaginal sensor.
Peak EMG amplitude during maximal voluntary pelvic floor muscle contractions will be recorded as an objective measure of pelvic floor muscle strength.
The change from baseline to the end of the 12-week intervention will be compared between the two study groups.

12 weeks of intervention
|
|
Urinary Incontinence Severity
Tidsramme: 12 weeks of intervention
|
Urinary incontinence severity will be assessed using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF).
The questionnaire evaluates the frequency and severity of urinary leakage and its impact on daily life.
Total scores range from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating greater severity.
The change in ICIQ-UI SF score from baseline to the end of the 12-week intervention will be compared between the two study groups.

|
Pelvic Floor-Related Quality of Life
Tidsramme: 12 weeks of intervention
|
Pelvic floor-related quality of life will be assessed using the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire-Short Form 7 (PFIQ-7).
The questionnaire assesses the impact of urinary, colorectal, and pelvic organ prolapse symptoms on daily activities and quality of life.
Scores range from 0 to 300, with higher scores indicating greater negative impact on quality of life.
The change in PFIQ-7 score from baseline to the end of the 12-week intervention will be compared between the two study groups.
|
12 weeks of intervention
|
|
Pelvic Organ Prolapse Severity
Tidsramme: 12 weeks of intervention
|
Pelvic organ prolapse severity will be assessed using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) system.
POP-Q measurements will be performed at baseline and after the 12-week intervention to objectively assess changes in pelvic organ support and prolapse stage.
Changes in POP-Q measurements and prolapse stage will be compared between the two study groups.
