Prevalence of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction in Women with Cervical Cancer: A Cross-Sectional Study

This study investigates the prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunction in women newly diagnosed with cervical cancer, prior to any oncologic treatment. The findings reveal that a significant portion of participants (56%) experienced sexual dysfunction and 52% had urinary incontinence, highlighting the importance of early recognition of these issues to differentiate between pre-existing conditions and those induced by treatment. The authors emphasize the need for targeted rehabilitation strategies to enhance the quality of life for these patients.
