Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Effect of the training of the pelvic floor muscles on the sexual function of women with symptoms of dyspareunia, verified through the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). The level of significance was set at p <0.05.;The training of the pelvic floor muscles interferes in the sexual function of women with symptoms of dyspareunia, verified by means of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), the level of significance adopted was p <0.05. It can be observed from the results that the rate of pain decrease in GI after six weeks of intervention was significant, ranging from (2.7 ± 1) to (4.1 ± 1), that is, in both groups there was improvement of pain rates.

In the CG (7.7 ± 2.1) for (6.9 ± 3) and in the GI (7.3 ± 1) for (1.5 ± 1.6), there was an improvement in the interference of dyspareunia On the impact of quality of life among women.
