The pelvic floor is the muscles, ligaments, connective tissue, and nerves that help support and control the rectum, uterus, vagina, and bladder. The pelvic floor can be damaged by childbirth, repeated heavy lifting, chronic disease or surgery. We offer treatment, management, and surgery for women with conditions related to pelvic floor dysfunction, such as:
- Incontinence
