Summary

The purpose of this research study is to investigate the use of pelvic physical therapy for gynecologic cancer survivors who report sexual dysfunction. Physical therapy experts believe that a full 10-week regimen is necessary for true improvement of symptoms. Investigators aim to see if this tense regimen is feasible for survivors. Investigators also aim to see if patients have an improvement in their sexual function and quality of life.
