Summary

This study looks at whether adding pelvic floor physical therapy before standard radiation treatment can help reduce pain and sexual problems in women with cervical, vaginal, vulvar, uterine, or anal cancer. About 20 participants will receive education on using a vaginal dilator and complete questionnaires about pain and sexual function. The goal is to see if this pre-rehabilitation approach is practical and helpful.
