The Pelvic Floor Muscles - a Guide for Women who are having or have had Pelvic Radiotherapy

Publication date: 4 Nov 2022

Some cancer treatments can result in side effects to the bladder and bowel.
These side effects are more common when having had radiotherapy to the pelvic
area, which can be used to treat some gynaecological, urological and colorectal
cancers. Other cancer treatments like chemotherapy and hormone therapy can
also cause problems to the bladder and bowel.

This leaflet focuses on the effect of pelvic radiotherapy to the pelvic floor
muscles which can lead to bladder and bowel symptoms such as leakage of urine
or faeces. These side effects can sometimes occur during or soon after finishing
radiotherapy or in some cases can occur months or even years later.
