Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: There will be comparison between 3 groups.Two intervention group and 1 control group
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The purpose of the study is to assess the pelvic floor dysfunction and quality of life in patient undergoing gynecological surgery.Common gynecological surgeries done for prolapse, fibroids, and cervical abnormality and also for Gynecological cancer.Early physiotherapy after gynecological surgery improves recovery by managing pain, restoring movement, and strengthening muscles, especially the pelvic floor.Conservative treatments like pelvic floor muscle exercises, biofeedback, and lifestyle changes can help with pelvic symptoms, including urinary incontinence and mild to moderate prolapse.

Detailed description: This is a randomized control trial to see the effects of pelvic floor training on pelvic floor dysfunction and quality of life in patient undergoing gynecological surgery. Females meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be divided into three groups by convenient sampling technique. A sample size of 48 females with 16 females in each group. Group A will be treated four weeks pre and 8 weeks post op pelvic floor training exercises, group B will be treated only 8 weeks post op pelvic floor training exercises and group C will receive basic post op nursing care. Group A and B will have three treatment sessions per week Assessment will be done at 0 week (1month prior to surgery), 1 day before surgery, 2nd , 4th, 6th and 8th week after surgery. Females will be screened by Pelvic organ distress inventory (PFDI-20) and Pelvic floor impact questionnaire (PFIQ-7).
