What is Pelvic Floor Disorder?
The term “pelvic floor” refers to the group of muscles that support the opening of a woman’s pelvis. These muscles and their surrounding connective tissues keep pelvic organs functioning correctly by holding them in place. When these muscles or connective tissues weaken or become injured, a pelvic floor disorder can result. Patients commonly develop pelvic floor issues after childbirth or a hysterectomy, and many are not aware that treatment options are available.
