Pelvic Floor Disorders
Pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) such as incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse occur when muscles are weak or injured, either through age, pressure or childbirth. For many, these are embarrassing conditions that seem untreatable, but at Providence Saint John’s Health Center, we believe no one should suffer with PFDs.
Whether you’re affected by irregular bladder, bowel or vaginal function, our expert urologists and urogynecologists provide the most effective treatments for these conditions.
We understand that pelvic floor disorders are uncomfortable and sensitive conditions. This is why our PFD specialists intentionally create a peaceful and sympathetic environment and provide holistic and compassionate care.
At Providence Saint John’s Health Center, you’ll find a full spectrum of services that allow for faster recovery, shorter hospital stays and a reduced risk of injury. By combining a range of minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic-assisted treatments, our team of urologists and urogynecologists provide the latest procedures to treat:
- Interstitial cystitis (painful bladder syndrome)
- Overactive bladder
- Recurring urinary tract infections
- Stress incontinence
- Constipation
- Fecal incontinence
- Apical prolapse (vaginal vault prolapse)
