Pelvic Floor Disorders

Advanced Pelvic Care Close to Home

At Mount Sinai South Nassau's Women's Program for Pelvic Floor Disorders, all-too-common conditions such as incontinence and constipation are effectively diagnosed and treated using state-of-the-art technology administered by highly skilled surgeons. This service is found in only a handful of locations in the country, and Mount Sinai South Nassau is one of them.

Disorders of the pelvic floor can be severely debilitating; all too often they do not receive the attention they deserve. Persistent pelvic pressure or the inability to control one's bladder or bowel function are just some of the common symptoms treated at the Women's Program for Pelvic Floor Disorders.

Left untreated, these conditions can lead to a considerable decrease in the quality of one's life, and they are frequently misdiagnosed or are not properly evaluated. When pelvic floor disorders are appropriately diagnosed and treated, the outcomes can be truly remarkable.

Common conditions caused by pelvic floor disorders:

• Cystocele
  
• Rectocele
  
• Enterocele
  
• Vaginal prolapse
  
• Uterine prolapse
  
• Rectal prolapse
  
• Stress incontinence
  
• Fecal incontinence
  
• Overactive bladder
  
• Urinary tract problems
  
• Vesicovaginal fistula

Symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction include:
