Women’s Health & Pelvic Health (Columbia and Owings Mills Locations)

What is Pelvic Health?

The pelvic floor, for both men and women, is comprised of a group of muscles that are responsible for many tasks. Your health is dependent upon the success of these muscles in meeting the demands of your body. If these demands are not met, then pelvic floor disorders can develop and these disorders can increase in prevalence with advancing age. In fact, almost 25% of women can face pelvic floor disorders in their lifetime. Other at-risk populations for pelvic floor disorders any pelvic post-surgical patients, women who have had multiple births, neurologic diseases, oncology patients who experienced radiation, steroid dependency, or connective tissue disorders.
