Summary

A PFMT educational intervention was designed for women with metastasic breast cancer. It consisted in a 120 min workshop and 8 weeks of non-supervised (but with follow-up) self-training. ICIQ, IQOL and ad hoc questions were performed before the workshop and after the 8 weeks training to see the prevalence of UI, the impact in their quality of life and the empowerment of self-training.

Detailed description

Urinary incontinence (UI) affects women of all ages and has a great impact on the quality of life. Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy or hormone therapy may play an important rol in the development and worsening of pelvic floor disorders. Little evidence on the prevalence and impact of UI in metastassis breast cancer women is known. A protocol was designed to analyze the effect of a PFMT educational intervention on the UI and the impact on the QoL, as well as in the empowerment feeling of the participants. Feasibility of the protocol will be analized to design an optimal RCT for testing our hypothesis During the usual visits, oncologist wil recruit women with advanced breast cancer who meet the inclusion criteria for the participation.
