Mimi Marcellou, co-founder and co-head of the PT PRAXIS® physiotherapy center, PhD candidate at University of West Attica, and speaker at numerous conferences on Pelvic Floor physiotherapy and its role in restoring Pelvic Floor dysfunctions in women who have undergone breast cancer treatment, continuously emphasizes: “Pelvic Floor physiotherapy provides both supportive and therapeutic benefits, helping breast cancer survivors regain a fulfilling sexual life, backed by science and proper female body care.” In her numerous lectures to professionals in the field and the academic community, Ms. Marcellou has highlighted the importance of educating both breast cancer patients and their multidisciplinary healthcare teams about managing the condition.

Prevention of Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause

Elina Koutromanou — Wed, 23 Oct 2024 17:56:22 +0000

How can we prevent Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause? It is a fact that the oncologist’s primary priority, along with their multidisciplinary team, is the effective treatment of a life-threatening malignant tumor in the breast or female reproductive organs. The oncologist determines the course of treatment, which may include the induction of early menopause if the patient is still menstruating. The Effects of Early Menopause or Genitourinary Syndrome The consequences of early menopause are well known to doctors, nurses, psychologists, and the entire multidisciplinary team supporting the patient. However, these effects are often underestimated, despite the certainty that they will affect the woman both during and after treatment, preventing her from enjoying life as she did before cancer. Among the symptoms of Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) are: Recurring urinary tract infections Urgency and frequent urination Urinary incontinence Pain during urination Vaginal dryness, hypersensitivity, and irritation Reduced lubrication Inability to achieve orgasm or decreased libido Pain during sex (dyspareunia) Can We Prevent It? The answer is yes. Women should be clearly informed about the consequences of menstruation cessation and, in collaboration with a Pelvic Floor physiotherapist, start an appropriate preventive therapeutic protocol to avoid these painful and distressing symptoms. Pelvic floor...
