Augmented Core Breathing Pelvic Floor Muscle Training for Patients with Genitourinary Syndrome in Different Phases of Menopause

Abstract

Pelvic floor muscle has a role in core breathing for twenty-four hours and offers an influence to modulate the lumbar spine and pelvic floor. Several studies reported on pelvic floor muscle strength. Women with genitourinary syndrome do not seek care for their condition and are dismayed to speak with the health care provider about the condition. In the present work, we evaluated the efficiency of augmented core breathing in the genitourinary syndrome of menopause for pelvic floor muscle strength. We tested the role of augmented core breathing efficacy using pelvic floor muscle training in patients with the genitourinary syndrome. Our data revealed significant beneficial effects of core breathing with pelvic floor muscle training and Kegel’s exercise in patients with genitourinary syndrome in different phase of menopause.
