Background:
Same authors previously reports high rates of
UI (67% of 200) and sexual dysfunction among gynecological cancer survivors
Rutledge TL, Heckman SR, Qualls C,
Muller CY, Rogers RG. Pelvic floor disorders and sexual function in gynecologic

·
effectiveness of PFMT and behavioral therapy, has not been evaluated in
gynecologic cancer survivors.
·
effectiveness of these interventions may differ in cancer survivors since
radiation, chemotherapy and radical pel-vic surgery can result in significant
anatomical functional changes in the pelvis and lower urinary tract, including
damage of nerve fibers and compromise of vascular supply with resultant
fibrosis.
