Abstract

Introduction: A hyperactive bladder syndrome can affect women after treatment for cervical cancer, directly interfering with quality of life and functionality. Objective: To verify the effects of physical therapy on the symptoms of hyperactive bladder syndrome in women undergoing treatment for cervical cancer. Methods: This is an uncontrolled clinical trial, with women who underwent treatment for cervical cancer. An evaluation form was used to check gynecological/obstetric data, as well as the patients' lifestyle. The symptoms of the hyperactive bladder syndrome were obtained through the hyperactive bladder questionnaire. For the physiotherapeutic intervention, the floor muscle training, transcutaneous electrostimulation of the tibial nerve and behavioral therapy protocol was used. Results: In the post-treatment there was a statistically significant decrease in the median of the symptoms of the hyperactive bladder syndrome and no impact on the quality of life in relation to the pre-treatment, an improvement indicated in the condition. Conclusion: This research concluded that the physical therapy protocol used showed improvement of symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome after treatment for cervical cancer.
