Physical Activity, Quality of Life, and Pelvic Floor Disorders Before and After Hysterectomy for Gynecological Cancer: A Prospective Cohort Study
PA levels were low pre- and post-surgery but worse preoperatively. This presents an opportunity for prehabilitation interventions to optimize physical function. There was no association between meeting PA guidelines and PFD. Global health status/QoL was slightly below population norms pre- and post-surgery. Lower HRQoL was associated with some symptoms of PFD.
