Abstract

Background: Pelvic fl oor muscle dysfunction (PFMD) is a common complication after treatment for prostate cancer. Whether the symptoms are mild or severe, PFMD is a significant clinical problem which can affect
day-to-day activities and reduce quality of life.

Aims: To establish the prevalence and severity of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction after prostate cancer treatment.

Methods: Men who have had treatment for prostate cancer (i.e. prostatectomy, radiation therapy and/or hormone therapy) and have had symptoms of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction (PFMD) for four or more weeks after treatment were eligible to participate. PFMD symptoms, which
include lower urinary tract symptoms, bowel symptoms and sexual dysfunction, were measured with the following validated instruments: (1) the ICIQ-MLUT/ICSmaleSF to assess urinary symptoms; (2) the St Marks Incontinence Score to assess bowel symptoms; (3) the ICIQ-MLUTSsex/
ICSmale to assess symptoms of sexual dysfunction. Participants were recruited from Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia support groups located in New South Wales (NSW), South Australia (SA) and Queensland
(QLD).

Results: These preliminary results are part of a larger project associated with a 2009 COSA/Sanofi -Aventis research grant. They represent the baseline data for a cluster randomised controlled trial to assess the
effectiveness of a DVD-guided pelvic floor muscle training tool compared with standard care.
