Treatments for Women
Women of all ages may experience symptoms of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. Urinary issues include leaking, urgency, frequency, hesitancy or retention; bowel issues include constipation, incontinence, and rectal pain; sexual issues include Dyspareunia, vestibular pain in women and erectile dysfunction or perineal pain in men. Even persistent hip pain can have an underlying condition related to the pelvic floor muscles. Incontinence is the most common symptom of pelvic floor dysfunction.
Bladder or bowel incontinence is not a normal part of aging despite what you may have been led to believe, and it can be treated successfully, but often popular strengthening exercises such as Kegels, are not appropriate for a patient, if there is pelvic floor tension rather than weakness, symptoms will not improve.
Pelvic organ prolapse is another common example of a challenge many women face after childbirth or as they age. Think of prolapse as a hernia that mostly affects women. When the muscles that hold the pelvic organs become weak or stretched, the organs – the bladder, uterus, small bowel, rectum – can drop from their normal location and push against the wall of the vagina. Strengthening or stretching the pelvic floor muscles correctly, altering behaviors around the symptoms, and empowering the patient to understand how to keep the problem from progressing is what we will help you achieve.
