Childbirth, repeated heavy lifting, chronic diseases or surgery can weaken the pelvic floor and cause pelvic floor disorders, which commonly includes:

• Incontinence – leaking or loss of bladder or bowel control
• Prolapse – weakening of the pelvic muscles that cause the pelvic organs to descend
• Emptying disorders – difficulty urinating or moving bowels, including chronic constipation
• Pelvic discomfort – pain or burning in the pelvis
• Overactive bladder – urge to urinate frequently
• Recurrent UTI
