A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional study investigates the effectiveness of adding biofeedback to standard postoperative pelvic floor rehabilitation for women who have undergone hysterectomy for benign conditions. Participants will perform pelvic floor muscle training with biofeedback alongside routine post-surgical care. The trial aims to measure changes in pelvic floor strength, urinary incontinence symptoms, genital prolapse, and overall quality of life. Eligible participants are women aged 45-50 who recently had an abdominal hysterectomy and have pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms. Exclusion criteria include hysterectomy for malignancy, prior pelvic floor rehab, neurological disorders affecting muscle control, infection, or inability to follow the program.
