Abstract

Pelvic organ prolapse dramatically compromises sexual, bowel, and bladder function and lowers
quality of life. Mayan abdominal massage is a form of non-invasive external self-treatment that
promotes the natural healing of the abdomen and pelvic organs. The aim of this study was to
evaluate the effect of Mayan abdominal massage technique on sexuality and quality of life
among women with uterine prolapse. Research design: A quasi experimental design was utilized
to fulfill the aim of the study. Sample: A purposive sample of 75 women was selected according
to the inclusion criteria. Setting: In gynecological outpatient and the family planning clinics at
Teaching University Hospital, Menoufia Governorate. Egypt. Tools used to collect the data
were the Structured Interview Questionnaire, Female Sexual Function Index, and Health-related
Quality of life tool. Results: The total mean scores of female sexual function index were
significantly improved after three months of intervention from 18.7 ± 4.5 to 28.1 ± 4.3. Also,
there are statistically significant differences of the mean scores of Health-related Quality of life
domains between before and after three months of intervention. Conclusion: Mayan abdominal
massage significantly improves sexual function and quality of life after three months'
intervention among women with uterine prolapse. Recommendation: Mayan abdominal
massage is considered one of the most effective therapeutic options accompanied with changing
lifestyle for improving sexual function and quality of life among women with uterine prolapse
should be used as an integral part of the gynecological treatment in the maternity hospitals
