Pelvic Floor Disorders

The effects of aging, childbirth, obesity, menopause, connective tissue disorders, prior pelvic surgery and chronic straining on the female pelvic floor have led to an increase in pelvic floor disorders. Patients suffering from such disorders may experience bowel and bladder dysfunction such as obstruction and/or incontinence, prolapsing pelvic organs, chronic pelvic pain, and sexual dysfunction.

At the Colorectal Disorders Program, we recognize the need for a multidisciplinary approach to treat these disorders. Therefore, our team of specialists is led by colorectal surgery with the collaboration of gynecology, urology, gastroenterology, physical therapy, radiology and behavioral sciences.
