Study of Pelvic Floor Disorders in Female Physiotherapy Students Aged 18 to 25 at Cairo University

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to estimate how common pelvic floor dysfunction is among female physiotherapy students at Cairo University. It also seeks to identify possible risk factors linked to these conditions, assess students awareness about pelvic floor health, and explore their use of healthcare resources for pelvic floor concerns. The study focuses on young women aged 18 to 25 who have not given birth, highlighting a group often overlooked in pelvic floor research. The study involves no intervention and is observational in nature. Participants will complete a modified Australian pelvic floor questionnaire and a self-administered survey over a two-month period. These tools will help researchers gather detailed information about symptoms, awareness, and healthcare usage related to pelvic floor health within this student population. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires designed to assess pelvic floor dysfunction and related factors. Researchers will analyze the collected data to understand prevalence and awareness levels. The study is led by Cairo University and will take place from February to April 2025, with no active treatments or procedures involved. The total involvement mainly consists of questionnaire completion and data analysis over two months.
