Background: Pelvic floor dyssynergia (PFD) is one of the commonest subtypes of constipation and treated conservatively but is often unsatisfactory. Biofeedback Pelvic Floor Exercise Therapy (BFT) has been introduced as an alternative treatment. Method: A prospective study was conducted at Healing Hands Clinic, Pune. Total 35 patients diagnosed as having pelvic floor dyssynergia confirmed by MR defecography (MRD) enrolled in to the study. All patients trained for pelvic floor muscle exercise. Patient performed exercise 20 minutes per day for 12 weeks. Data have been collected using a standardized questionnaire (Longo's obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) score, Patient Assessment of Constipation Quality of Life (PAC-QOL) and Bristol stool score and performed anal manomentry test (3-D HDAM) at every 4 weeks. Result: Study result demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in the mean resting pressure, maximum squeezing pressure and average of 10 seconds hold (from 69.83±6.40 to 39.87±5.51, 98.67±17.23 to 128.67±26.92, 78.70±15.41 to 109.00±22.23, P = 0.005 at week 12). The mean total ODS decreased significantly (p<0.0005) from baseline to 22.92±4.03 to 11.46±6.76 at week 12. Also, individuals ODS score items were significantly improved at week 8 and week 12. Bristol stool score significantly improved from 2.12±1.14 to 4.04±0.96 at 12 weeks (p<0.0005). Significant improvements were recorded in all four individual score domains (physical discomfort, psychosocial discomfort, worries and concerns, satisfaction) and total score of PAC-QOL at week 12. Conclusion: Biofeedback therapy provides improvement in bowel symptoms, anorectal function and reduces use of aperients in constipated subjects with pelvic floor dyssynergia

Pelvic Floor Exercise

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of pelvic floor exercise. Materials and methods: Hundred (100) patients of pelvic organ prolapse (POP), stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and overactive bladder (OAB) were included. They were advised pelvic floor exercise in stepwise incremental manner. Each time exercise comprised of 10 seconds holding up and 10 seconds relaxation. To start with it was 5 times each in the morning, noon, evening and night; making it 20 times per day. Every week 5 times increment. So by 5th week it was 25 times each in the morning, noon, evening and night; making it 100 times per day. After 6 months patients were assessed by their subjective feeling of improvement and clinical assessment. Results: After 6 months of therapy patients subjective feeling of improvement for POP, SUI and OAB were 73%, 84.1%, 58.3% respectively; though objective assessment did not show this much improvement. Conclusion: Pelvic floor exercise is an easy, effective and non-invasive tool that can be considered as first line therapy for these patients.

Pelvic Floor Exercise

Background Self-efficacy appears to be an important predictor of functional recovery for women with urinary incontinence, but no specific Spanish-language questionnaires for measuring pelvic-floor exercise self-efficacy exist. Objective The aim of this study was to design a valid and reliable Spanish version of the Broome Pelvic Muscle Self-Efficacy Scale to measure self-efficacy, as perceived by women with urinary incontinence, in performing pelvic-floor exercises. Design This was an observational validation study. Methods Translation-back translation was used to design the survey, and then the survey was validated with a sample of 119 women who were incontinent and had undergone a pelvic-floor exercise training program. The reliability and construct validity of the questionnaire were assessed. Descriptive statistics were used to score the questionnaire. Internal consistency was evaluated with the Cronbach alpha coefficient and the Pearson correlation coefficient. Exploratory factor analysis with both the principal components extraction method and the varimax rotation method was used to assess construct validity. Results The reliability coefficient (Cronbach alpha=.91) and the correlations among items were high. The factor analysis revealed that 6 main factors accounted for 75.8% of the variance. Limitations Conclusions regarding the validity of the questionnaire should be drawn with caution because of the inability to assess criterion-related validity. Conclusions The Spanish version of the Broome questionnaire for self-efficacy appears to be useful as a measuring tool for a psychometrically accurate, clinically relevant estimation of women's self-efficacy in performing pelvic-floor exercises.
