Pelvic Floor Disorders - 02/08/19


, Ellen R. Solomon, MD, FACOG bRésumé |
Pelvic floor disorders commonly affect women and may cause distress and difficulty with daily functions and self-image. Urinary incontinence may present as stress incontinence, urgency incontinence, or in some combination (mixed incontinence). Symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse (POP) occurs when the patient is bothered by the sensation of a herniation of the pelvic organs through the vagina. Although POP is often distressing and embarrassing, it is not considered life-threatening unless the patient cannot urinate or defecate. There are numerous ways to treat these conditions, including conservative (including observation), medical, and surgical management.
