This study compares sexual function, body image, kinesiophobia and physical activity level in women with and without pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain.
Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) is a condition felt around the posterior iliac crystals, gluteal region and the sacroiliac joints, may spread to the back of the thigh, and may occur together or separately with pain in the symphysis pubis. Pregnancy-related PGP causes problems in the sexual life of women. Body image differs with the development of physical symptoms and changes in body size and shape during pregnancy. Body dissatisfaction resulting from physical changes can cause problems in women's attitudes towards sexuality. Sexual function is affected by physiological, anatomical and psychological changes that occur during pregnancy. Sexual function during pregnancy has been associated with conditions such as body image, physical activity level, and pain.
In the literature, there are studies evaluating the relationship between sexual function and body image in pregnant women and in different populations. However, in these studies, questionnaires specific to pregnant women were not used to evaluate sexual function and body image, and a comparison of these parameters was not investigate in women with and without pregnancy-related PGP.
Therefore, this study was planned to compare sexual function, body image, kinesiophobia and physical activity levels in women with and without pregnancy-related PGP.
The outcome measures are Pregnancy Sexual Response Inventory (PSRI), Body Image in Pregnancy Scale (BIPS-Turkish), Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS) and Pregnancy physical activity questionnaire (PPAQ).
The clinical diagnosis tests are Active Straight Leg Rise, Posterior Pelvic Pain Provocation Test, Long Dorsal Sacroiliac Ligament Palpation, Pelvic Compression, Pelvic Distraction, Patrick-Faber Test and Gaenslen Test.
58 studies on the registry are indexed under Pelvic Girdle Pain; 12 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 125 is close to the median of 115 across 16 observational studies indexed under Pelvic Girdle Pain.
