Definitions

  • Pelvic Floor Dysfunction – occurs when the sling or hammock of muscles that supports the pelvic organs becomes weak or damaged. Symptoms of pelvic dysfunction are urinary problems, constipation or fecal leaking, pain or pressure in the vagina or rectum, heavy feeling in the pelvis or bulge in the vagina or rectum, muscle spasms in the pelvis. Main types are listed below.
  • Pelvic Pain – pain, due to several causes, located below the navel and between the hip area that lasts more than six months.
  • Stress Incontinence – accidental leakage of urine brought on by physical activities such as sneezing, laughing, coughing or exercise.
  • Urinary Urgency – sudden overpowering need to pass urine which is difficult to stop, often associated with symptoms of urinary frequency and frequent nighttime voiding.
  • Overactive Bladder – combination of urinary frequency, nighttime voiding and incontinence.
  • Mixed Incontinence – mix of both stress and urge incontinence.

Definitions (continued)

  • Rectal Incontinence – loss of normal control of the bowels with stool leaking from the rectum.
  • Constipation – chronically compacted bowel, loss of normal daily bowel movements.
  • Prolapse – pelvic organs drop and press against the vaginal walls due to supporting structures stretching; pressure or a sense of fullness or heaviness occurs in the vagina, achiness in pelvis, groin or back.
  • Dyspareunia – painful intercourse, often due to increased tension in the pelvic floor muscles, making penetration painful.
  • Post Partum Pelvic Floor Disorder – after birth, any of the above symptoms may be present.

Childbirth

Childbirth is one of the main causes of pelvic floor disorders. A woman’s risk tends to increase the more times she has given birth. Women who are overweight or obese have a greater risk for pelvic floor disorders. Pelvic surgery or radiation treatments also can cause these disorders.

While pelvic floor disorders become more common as women get older, they are not a normal or acceptable part of aging. These problems can have a significant impact on a person’s quality of life. Fortunately, these disorders often can be reversed with treatment.

“Maureen Goldman has been instrumental in helping me with issues connected to my pelvic muscle deterioration. I was referred to her by my gynecologist. Maureen was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with the education and information process. She helped me understand how the pelvic muscle system works and how to properly re-build and maintain the muscles. The therapy she offers is very beneficial with great results. After 8 sessions with Maureen I am able to continue the therapy at home and continue the benefits it offers. I have been able to avoid invasive surgery while improving my ability to comfortably resume all of my daily activities. Sessions spent with Maureen have been a win for me. Thank you Maureen!” Mary E
