A theoretical-practical subject is presented that allows the student to discover different concepts, methodologies, techniques or strategies in the area of the urogynecological patient.
The main objective of the subject is to acquire the basic knowledge of the different concepts and methods of approach that we currently have at our disposal, as well as for the student to be able to identify his role within a multidisciplinary team and achieve the following learning objectives, know the anatomy and physiology involved in the pelvic floor, in order to be able to identify the different uro-gynecological-coloproctological pathologies, perform an external assessment of the patient (not intracavitary), design and perform a protocol of action based on the dysfunction exposed in the subject, in addition to being able to carry out group work plans, design prevention strategies and carry out the search and application of tools validated for use at a clinical level. The theoretical and practical content of this subject aims to provide a vision based on clinical evidence and supported by published scientific evidence.
This subject aims to introduce the gender perspective in its content and development. In addition, the objectives are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations.
The subject will present the main conditions and treatments in the field of urogynecological, abdominal, coloproctological and sexual physiotherapy. Distributing the learning in different sections:
