What is pelvic floor dysfunction?

When there is too much pressure, tension, and tightness in the pelvic floor, it creates a “pulling action” downward. This can lead to pelvic organ prolapse, incontinence and a range of other symptoms usually categorized under the umbrella term “pelvic floor dysfunction”.

In short, pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) refers to a broad number of symptoms and conditions relating to the inability of the pelvic floor muscles to conduct their necessary functions.
