Summary
This study tests whether pelvic floor physical therapy can reduce bowel and bladder control problems that often happen after radiation for cervical cancer. Twenty-eight women who are getting pelvic radiation will start physical therapy four weeks after finishing radiation. The therapy includes two sessions of muscle training and dilator use. The main goal is to see if fewer women have fecal incontinence three months after radiation.

What this could lead to
