Center for Pelvic Health
Pelvic floor disorders are common in men and women, but many times a person is reluctant to seek medical attention due to embarrassment, the feeling that nothing can be done, or the belief that it is a normal part of life and aging. Here at the Center for Pelvic Health, we want you to know that you are not alone and you do not have to live with the discomfort or embarrassment. Together, we can dramatically improve the quality of your life.
You will receive care in a relaxed, private environment, dedicated to addressing your pelvic floor needs and ensuring respect, dignity, and sensitivity during all phases of your treatment. All you need to do is take the first step.

Pelvic Floor Disorders (PFD) occur when the muscles or connective tissues of the pelvic area weaken or are injured. The most common PFDs are urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse. PFDs are more common among older women. Medication and surgery are not the only options available to treat PFDs.
