Low back pain is a problem that is caused by overwork and impaired functional capacity. It
has been observed that the source of low back pain is due to intervertebral disc pathologies
at a rate of up to 39%. Lumbar disc herniation; Low back pain, manicure and numbness in
fullness or cracks, muscle weakness, difficulty in moving, weakness, inability to hold
places, pulling when sitting and deterioration in conditions, sudden stabbing pain in the
waist area when coughing or sneezing, bursting of the herniated nucleus pulposus (nucleus
pulposus). Lumbar disc herniation can be detected in non-symptomatic cases. Lumbar disc
herniation, Protruded disc herniation (eccentric overflow is present; the annulus is intact),
Extruded disc herniation (the nucleus has passed the ruptured annulus; however, there is
still a connection with the nucleus formation at the disc borders.), Sequestered disc
herniation (The residual piece has ruptured with the disc space and It is in the form of a
free fragment.). One of the biggest causes of lower back pain is the weakness of the core
muscles and their not being active at the right time. It is documented as a cylindrical
shaped structure that provides the distance between the core, body, fillings and arms. The
role of active, passive and normal structures in core stabilization can be sustained. Passive
structures; bone, cartilage and connective tissues, and active structures consist of muscles.
Core muscles in core stability; The respiratory muscles are the diaphragm, transversus
abdominus muscle, multifidus muscle and pelvic floor muscles. These muscles create trunk and
lumbo-pelvic stability and have a very important role in the muscular chain. In addition, it
seems that the ability to remember sequences and the activation responses of these muscles
are impaired or slowed down. It can cause dysfunction, especially in the transversus
abdominus, multifudus and pelvic floor muscles.
The purpose of this research; To evaluate the relationship between low back pain and pelvic
floor muscle strength, urinary incontinence, constipation and sexual dysfunction in female
individuals with lumbar disc herniation. No study on this has been found in the literature.
Hypotheses of the study; Ho: ''There is no difference in terms of the relationship between
low back pain and Pelvic Floor Muscle Strength, Urinary Incontinence, Constipation and Sexual
Dysfunction in Female Individuals with Lumbar Disc Herniation.'' H1: ''There is a difference
in terms of the relationship between low back pain and Pelvic Floor Muscle Strength, Urinary
Incontinence, Constipation and Sexual Dysfunction in Female Individuals with Lumbar Disc
Herniation.''
