Evaluation of Pelvic Floor Function and Psychosocial Sequelae Following Radical Prostatectomy for Prostate Cancer

Sponsor: University of Valencia

Summary

This observational cross-sectional study aims to evaluate the effects of radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer on pelvic floor function and psychosocial well-being. The study will assess the prevalence and severity of urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction, as well as their impact on quality of life, sexual health, self-esteem, and interpersonal relationships. Adult men who underwent radical prostatectomy at least one year before enrollment will complete a series of validated questionnaires and provide demographic and clinical information through online surveys or telephone interviews. The study will also explore whether participants received pelvic floor physiotherapy before or after surgery and whether rehabilitation is associated with better functional and psychosocial outcomes. The findings may contribute to a better understanding of the long-term consequences of radical prostatectomy and help identify opportunities to improve patient care.
