Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
What is Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction encompasses many different issues including urinary and anal incontinence, overactive bladder, pelvic organ prolapse, and even sexual disorders. Current literature claims that 65% of women with incontinence remember that their first incontinence experience correlated with either pregnancy or the post partum period. Pregnancy is the most important risk factor for pelvic floor dysfunction, despite the method of delivery (vaginal or cesarean section).
