Pelvic Floor Disorders and Incontinence 

One in three women will experience a pelvic floor disorder (PFD) in her lifetime. PFDs occur when women have weakened pelvic muscles or tears in the connective tissue, which may cause bladder control problems, bowel control problems or surrounding pelvic organs to fall into the vagina causing pelvic organ prolapse. Jefferson Health’s Comprehensive Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery multidisciplinary team specializes in the diagnosis, management and treatment of PFDs from conventional to complementary medicine.
