Investigation of Awareness Levels of Women Living in Turkey About Kegel Exercises and Pelvic Floor Muscles

Plain-language summary

Pelvic floor disorders affect millions of women and their lives in our country and around the world. Along with many factors such as age, obesity, menopause, smoking, number of births and mode of delivery, there is an increase in the prevalence of pelvic floor disorders. Pelvic floor disorders (urinary/fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, chronic pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction) negatively affect women, their families, caregivers of individuals who cannot meet their own needs, and society in many ways. Treatment of pelvic floor disorders is very costly on a community basis. An effective process is carried out with the use of non-pharmacological traditional and complementary therapies instead of invasive or pharmacological treatment in the early period of the treatment of symptoms of pelvic floor disorders.
