Effect of a Therapeutic Exercise and an Education Program on Sexual Function and Experience in People With Endometriosis

This is a randomized clinical trial that will be carried out in people with endometriosis divided into two groups: the experimental group (EG) that will receive therapeutic exercise combine with sexual education, and the control group (CG) who will receive the therapeutic exercise program. The participants will be evaluated at three moments: before starting the study (T1), after the 8-week treatment program (T2) and after 4 weeks of follow-up in which they will be encouraged to continue with the treatment (T3). Objective and subjective data of the participants will be evaluated. T1 will be assessed with a sociodemographic questionnaire and the FSFI and MSSCQ surveys. T2 and T3 will assess blood pressure, heart rate, variability of the autonomic system, the ability to dissociate the lumbopelvic movement from the thoracolumbar, measurement of the muscles of the transverse, internal and external obliques, the distance between the rectus abdominis and the pelvic floor, subjective perception of effort during exercise and subjective perception of orgasmic intensity.
