Overview
The high incidence of gynecological cancers, together with dyspareunia and vaginal stenosis, some of its most frequent sequelae, create the need to continue studying and researching oncological physiotherapy techniques that treat and prevent these sequelae, in order to preserve and/or improve the quality of life of cancer patients. Therefore, through this study, we sought to verify the effectiveness of oncological perineal massage to treat pain during sexual intercourse and vaginal stenosis.
The objective of this study will be to demonstrate the effectiveness of a treatment that will consist of a health education session related to the pelvic floor and the consequences related to cancer along with ten sessions of oncological perineal massage that will be carried out for fifty minutes, once a week.
