Data on the effectiveness of interventions such as exercise are lacking.
Patients were assessed at baseline and 3, 6, and 9 months. Exercise intervention effects were analyzed on an intent-to-treat basis with mixed models.At baseline, most women showed no interest in sexual activity, and 60% were not sexually active.
