Female pelvic cancer survivors’ experiences of pelvic floor muscle training after pelvic radiotherapy
The women who live with the experience of pelvic cancer experienced PFMT as a meaningful intervention for managing urinary and/or fecal incontinence after pelvic radiotherapy. They considered that information and support from a physiotherapist are essential in pelvic cancer rehabilitation, such as PFMT, and should be offered to all women after pelvic cancer treatment.
