Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

Leaking, pelvic pressure, or pain is not just part of getting older or something to put up with after childbirth or surgery. With the right therapy, most people see real improvement.

Pelvic floor therapy is available at our Bensonhurst, Brooklyn clinic.

Signs your pelvic floor needs support

  • Leaking when you cough, sneeze, run, or lift
  • Urgency or frequency, or trouble starting or fully emptying
  • Pelvic pressure or a feeling of heaviness
  • Painful intercourse or tailbone pain
  • Abdominal separation after pregnancy (diastasis)
  • Leakage after prostate surgery

What tends to cause it

Pelvic floor problems can follow pregnancy and childbirth, surgery, chronic straining, or long-standing core weakness or muscle tension. The pelvic floor works together with your core, hips, and back, so finding which part is under-working or overworking is the key to lasting relief.
