Biofeedback + standarded post hysterectomy care protocolStandard post hysterectomy care protocol
Biofeedback + standarded post hysterectomy care protocol: Participants will undergo standard post hysterectomy care protocol with electromyographic (EMG)-based biofeedback guidance, using a vaginal sensor to provide real-time visual and/or auditory feedback on pelvic floor muscles contractions.
Standard post hysterectomy care protocol: Participants will perform undergo standard post hysterectomy core protocol without biofeedback assistance.
Study summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of biofeedback-assisted pelvic floor muscle training in improving pelvic floor muscle strength, decreasing urinary incontinence symptoms, reducing genital prolaps and enhancing the quality of life in women after hysterectomy.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) — 12 weeks of intervention Female sexual function will be assessed using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), a validated 19-item questionnaire evaluating six domains: desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain. The total FSFI score ranges from 2 to 36, with higher scores indicating better sexual function. The change in total FSFI score from baseline to the end of the 12-week intervention will be compared between the two study groups.
