Constipated patients rarely have sexual or urinary complaints. The objective of this case is to provide a new and successful therapy strategy for a patient with dyssynergic defection and dyspareunia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Study Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>The case study below discusses physical therapy rehabilitation and the consequences for both current and future physical therapy programs of constipation caused by PFM dyssynergia and dyspareunia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Case Description<\/jats:title><jats:p>A 22\u2010year\u2010old married nulliparous woman was referred by her urogynecologist for the management of PFM tightness, with the main complaints being pain during intercourse and chronic constipation. The diagnosis had been confirmed by MR defecography, which revealed puborectalis and external anal muscle tightness. Neuromuscular reeducation employing electromyography biofeedback, improved rectal sensation, intravagival massage, the application of an intermittent pneumatic compression belt on the abdominiopelvic region, and suprapubic water bag ultrasound therapy were among the pelvic floor rehabitation strategies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The intermittent pneumatic compression belt and water bag ultrasound approach, combined with standard program rehabitation, was successfully used in patients with defection dyssynergia and dyspareunia. After 3\u00a0weeks, stool frequency decreased from once every 10 days to one bowel movement per week; a condition reported less bloating and stomach pain, as well as a pain rating of 5\/10 during sexual activity and 0\/10 immediately afterward; and FSFI increased from 15.1 to 19.1. After 12\u00a0weeks, stool frequency is three bowel movements per week, a condition has less bloating and stomach discomfort and rates pain as 1\/10 during sexual activity and 0\/10 immediately, and FSFI has risen from 15.1 to 25.1.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/pri.70008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,17]],"date-time":"2024-11-17T19:59:04Z","timestamp":1731873544000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["New Non\u2010Invasive Approach for a Woman With Dyssynergic Defecation Associated With Dyspareunia: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3247-9402","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Doaa A.
