Women who come to the gynecology and obstetrics clinic for examination and volunteer for the study will be randomized with a computer-aided randomization program and divided into 3 groups. First of all, the pelvic floor muscles will be evaluated by ultrasonographic method and perineometer. The first group will be taught pelvic floor muscle contraction with verbal explanation, the second group will be taught with digital vaginal palpation, and the third group will be taught pelvic floor muscle contraction with the help of a perineometer. After the training, the same evaluations will be made again. The number of individuals to be included in the study will be determined by power analysis. As a result of this study, it will be decided which method can be used to teach pelvic floor muscle contraction to women accurately and effectively in clinics. The results of our study will guide clinicians in their preferences for using different teaching methods., conditionsModule conditions: Pelvic Floor Muscle Weakness, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, interventionModelDescription: prospective randomized, primaryPurpose: TREATMENT, maskingInfo masking: TRIPLE, maskingDescription: healthcare provider performing USG evaluation person doing statistical analysis, whoMasked: PARTICIPANT, whoMasked: CARE_PROVIDER, whoMasked: OUTCOMES_ASSESSOR, enrollmentInfo count: 54, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: group1, group2, group 3, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: ASSESSMENT OF THE PELVIC FLOOR USING ULTRASONOGRAPHY (USG), primaryOutcomes measure: Pelvic Floor Muscle Strength and Endurance:, primaryOutcomes measure: pelvic floor power, minimum and maximum muscle contraction values, secondaryOutcomes measure: DETAILED STORIES OF THE PATIENTS, secondaryOutcomes measure: Pelvic Floor Health Knowledge Test:, secondaryOutcomes measure: Global Pelvic Floor Disorder Questionnaire(GPFDQ), secondaryOutcomes measure: Visual Analog Scale (VAS) assessment for pelvic pain, secondaryOutcomes measure: Determining the severity of incontinence, secondaryOutcomes measure: Sensory Evaluation, secondaryOutcomes measure: Pelvic Floor Reflex Evaluation:, secondaryOutcomes measure: Evaluation of Mistakes Made During Pelvic Floor Muscle Contraction, secondaryOutcomes measure: Pelvic organ prolapse evaluation, eligibilityModule sex: FEMALE, minimumAge: 20 Years, maximumAge: 50 Years, stdAges: ADULT, contactsLocationsModule, hasResults: False
