Objective: This study aims to investigate the mechanism of action pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) for improvement signs and symptoms genitourinary syndrome menopause (GSM) in postmenopausal women with GSM urinary incontinence (UI).Methods: Twenty-nine were included secondary analysis a single-arm feasibility study. Using color Doppler ultrasound, peak systolic velocity, time-averaged maximum pulsatility index internal pudendal dorsal clitoral arteries measured at rest after (PFM)...
Thirty to sixty percent of cancer patients have insomnia symptoms, a condition which may lead numerous negative consequences and for an efficacious management is required. This randomized controlled trial aimed assess the efficacy 6-week home-based aerobic exercise program (EX) compared that self-administered cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT-I) improve sleep in patients. Forty-one (78.1% female, mean age 57 years) with various types having symptoms (Insomnia Severity Index [ISI] score ≥ 8)...
Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) is caused by chronic deprivation estrogen and other sex steroids during the postmenopausal period, which leads to changes in vulvovaginal tissues. These cause bothersome symptoms, such as vaginal dryness, pruritus, dyspareunia, increased daytime urinary frequency, urgency incontinence, have considerable negative effects on women's quality life sexual function.

To assess the effectiveness of 12 weekly physical therapy sessions for urinary incontinence (UI) compared with a control intervention, reducing number UI episodes measured 7-day bladder diary, at 3 months and 1 year postrandomization.A single parallel-group randomized controlled trial was conducted one outpatient public health center, in postmenopausal women aged 55 years over osteoporosis or low bone density UI. Women were to (PT) education. The primary outcome measure leakage on assessed...
Abstract Objective: Vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA), caused by decreased levels of estrogen, is a common problem in aging women. Main symptoms VVA are vaginal dryness and dyspareunia. First-line treatment consists the application local estrogen therapy (ET) or moisturizer. In some cases however, signs persist despite those interventions. This case study describes 77-year-old woman with severe use ET addition pelvic floor muscle (PFM) training to her treatment. Methods: A patient stress urinary...
Aims Test‐retest reliability assessment of the dorsal clitoral artery's blood flow at rest and after muscle activation has never been documented. If this outcome measure is to be used in conditions impeding vascularity, it requires a psychometric evaluation. The aim study was assess inter‐session test‐retest healthy women using color Doppler ultrasonography pelvic floor (PFM) contraction task. Methods Two sessions were conducted clinical ultrasound system. Clitoral measurements repeated PFM...
Abstract Objective: The Most Bothersome Symptom Approach (MBSA) assesses symptom severity of genitourinary syndrome menopause (GSM), and identifies the with greatest burden. Atrophy Symptoms Questionnaire (ASQ) impact GSM symptoms on activities daily living. psychometric properties these outcomes remain to be completely assessed. This study aimed assess test-retest reliability MBSA ASQ their convergent validity. Method: One evaluator administered twice 2 weeks apart postmenopausal women...
