What is pelvic floor dysfunction?
If you think of the pelvis as being the home to organs like the bladder, uterus (or prostate in men) and rectum, the pelvic floor muscles are the home’s foundation. These muscles act as the support structure keeping everything in place within your body. Your pelvic floor muscles add support to several of your organs by wrapping around your pelvic bone. Some of these muscles add more stability by forming a sling around the rectum.
Pelvic floor dysfunction is a common condition where you’re unable to correctly relax and coordinate the muscles in your pelvic floor. Pelvic muscles can be weakened and control can be lost for many reasons like an overall health condition, childbirth, surgery, cancer, and radiation.
All of our patients receive the finest level of gentle care, compassion, and understanding. We do not do any internal examinations. You may rest assured that your symptoms and concerns will be taken into account while your tailored treatment plan is developed.
