Pelvic Floor Disorders
According to the National Institutes of Health, more than one-third of U.S. women have a pelvic floor disorder, and almost 377,000 women underwent surgery for a pelvic floor disorder in 2010. This is a common problem that women try to hide, but it is something that needs to be treated effectively and immediately.
The Institute for Female Pelvic Health specializes in comprehensive evaluation and treatment for women with complex pelvic floor disorders.
Our team of pelvic health specialists work with the Sinai Rehabiltation Center to administer the Pelvic Floor Dysfunction and Incontinence Program, which treats urinary incontinence and pelvic pain, and works with primary care physicians to develop individualized treatment plans.
