Understanding Pelvic Floor Conditions

Dr. Yahir Santiago-Lastra, director of the Women’s Pelvic Medicine Center at UC San Diego Health, discusses some common myths about pelvic floor disorders and offers tips for maintaining bladder health.
Nearly half of women will experience some form of pelvic floor dysfunction. But just because an issue is common doesn’t mean that it’s “normal” or untreatable. Many do not seek treatment for pelvic floor disorders out of embarrassment or fear of needing surgery.
UC San Diego Health brings together physicians and therapists from urology, gynecology, general surgery and physical therapy to provide the latest diagnostic tools and therapies to women and men who have urinary and bowel incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, urogenital conditions caused by neurologic disorders, and voiding dysfunction. We offer a range of therapies, from simple, nonsurgical treatment options to more complex reconstructive procedures, in an effort to relieve - or even cure - your condition.
