What is a Pelvic Floor Disorder?

Pelvic floor disorders include a range of conditions that affect the muscles and tissues supporting the pelvic organs. They can impact women of all ages, particularly those who have experienced childbirth, menopause, or pelvic surgery. They can also significantly impact your physical and emotional well-being, often leading to feelings of discomfort or embarrassment.

  • Common Symptoms May Include:

    • Urinary incontinence or urgency
    • Pelvic pressure or discomfort
    • Difficulty with bowel movements
    • A bulge or protrusion in the vaginal area

    These symptoms can vary in severity and frequency for each woman, which is why we encourage you to be as open and honest as possible with your provider. Your care team is here to offer guidance and create an effective treatment plan that prioritizes your health and comfort.

  • Your Treatment Options May Include:

    • Behavioral therapies tailored to your lifestyle
    • Physical therapy to strengthen pelvic floor muscles
    • Medications to alleviate discomfort
    • Surgical interventions, when necessary, to restore quality of life
