What are Pelvic Floor Disorders?

Women with weakness or tightness of the pelvic muscles, or who have tears in the connective tissue, may begin to have problems controlling their bladder and bowels. They often describe urine leakage (urinary incontinence), bowel gas or stool leakage (anal incontinence), difficulty emptying their bladder or bowel (voiding dysfunction), overactive bladder, or discomfort in the pelvic region. Some women also feel or see tissue coming out of the opening of their vagina. This can be a prolapsing cervix and uterus or the walls of the vagina.

It is possible to experience one or several of these signs and symptoms of pelvic floor disorders. Medical specialists called urogynecologists are specially trained to diagnose and treat these problems. We encourage you to speak with a urogynecologist and learn how he or she can help improve your quality of life by treating your incontinence or prolapse issues. The urogynecologist can also make an appropriate referral to a pelvic health physical therapist to address these issues.
