The relationship between back pain and pelvic floor muscle strength, urinary incontinas, constipation and sexual dysfunction in women with lumbal disc hernia

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between low back pain and pelvic floor muscle strength, urinary incontinence, constipation and sexual dysfunction in women with lumbar disc herniation.Low back pain of 60 female participants between the ages of 18-55 with lumbar disc herniation, Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire, pelvic floor muscle strength, Surface EMG-Biofeedback device (Aymed LOCUM Wireless Urodynamic System v.0.2.65, Turkey), urinary incontinence status, King Health. Questionnaire (KSA), constipation status was evaluated using the Constipation Severity Scale (CSS), sexual dysfunction status was evaluated using the Sexual Quality of Life Scale-Female. IBM SPSS Statistics 23 package program was used to analyze the data. According to the findings of the study, in women with low back pain, the pelvic floor tonic activity value of low back pain was negatively and moderately (r = -0.365), the pelvic floor phasic activity value of low back pain was negatively and moderately (r = -0.371), and the low back pain was negatively affected by the pelvic floor activity value (r = -0.371). With the base endurance value in a negative direction and at a moderate (r=-0.42) degree, with the pelvic floor ''work average'' value in a negative direction and at a moderate (r=-0.364) degree, with the pelvic floor ''work average'' value in a negative direction and at a moderate (r=-0.364) degree. It was found to be negatively and moderately (r=-0.35) related to the ' value. There is a positive and moderate (r=0.512) relationship between low back pain and urinary incontinence, a positive and weak relationship (r=0.278) between low back pain and constipation, a negative and moderate (r=-0.326) relationship was found between low back pain and sexual dysfunction. As a result of the study, there is a significant relationship between low back pain and pelvic floor muscle strength, urinary incontinence, constipation and sexual dysfunction. Conclusion;It is recommended that physiotherapists working in the field of low back pain and women's health evaluate constipation, urinary incontinence, pelvic floor muscle strength and sexual dysfunction before determining an effective treatment program for women with low back pain.
