Atrium Health Navicent Women's Care Urogynecology & Pelvic Surgery
Suffer in silence no more
One in three women will experience a Pelvic Floor Disorder in their lifetime. Pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) are a group of conditions that affect the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that normally support the organs of the pelvis including the bladder, bowel, uterus, cervix and rectum. It is often an embarrassing condition that can affect a woman's quality of life. While women may recognize that it is a problem, many women who suffer from PFDs and are unaware that there are treatments available.
The most common types of PFDs include pelvic organ prolapse (herniation of the pelvic organs into the vagina that occurs due to weakness of the normal supports of the pelvic organs) and urinary incontinence (involuntary leakage of urine). Often times women can develop more than one PFDs at the same time.
