1 in 3 women experience pelvic floor disorders - you are not alone



I have already posted an article on whether transveginal mesh or physical therapy is recommended in the case of a pelvic organ prolapse in women.

I recently went through a related beatiful online community by the American Urogynecologic Societyhttp://www.voicesforpfd.org. This one is about Pelvic Floor Disorders.

I am copying from this website:


You are not alone. As many as 1 in 3 women experience pelvic floor disorders. Our online community, Take the Floor: Voices for PFD, is an outlet for women to share their stories, get support from other women, and ask experts about disorders impacting the pelvic floor, such as incontinence and prolapse.

Features of our online community include the following:

  • Discussion forums on pelvic organ prolapse, bladder control and bowel control problems
  • Ask the Experts: Have a question about pelvic floor disorders? Our *physician experts are here to help.
  • Find a Provider: Search for a specialist in your local area
  • Inspirational videos and stories from patients
  • Access to the Share MayFlowers blog-where expert commentary and solutions, real-life stories, humor, news and information come together to inspire thought and pursue change in how we perceive, talk about and act regarding female pelvic and perinatal health.

Furthermore, if you have already suffered from transveginal mesh complications, you will find this Questions & Answers by Dr. Christopher Walker at Drugwatch.com very helpful.
