Our urogynecology expert Lisa Hickman, MD, explains the pelvic floor, its function and disorders that can occur when the connective tissues in this area aren't providing the proper support to the organs around it. Symptoms include prolapse, bowel and bladder problems and pain with intercourse. Dr. Hickman describes how this disorder can begin in pregnancy and how with multiple pregnancies, the risk of pelvic floor disorder can increase. Learn more about this condition and how it is treated with physical therapy offered at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
