Dr. Ali Ghomi discussed pelvic floor disorders in women: incontinence, prolapsed pelvic organs, and chronic pelvic pain. He discussed the risks for pelvic problems in women, such as aging, obesity, and genetics. He also spoke of the effects of diet, exercise, and smoking as environmental issues that can affect the female pelvic floor. The diagnosis and treatment of these kinds of disorders have come far from a few years ago. Now, urodynamics, pelvic exams, and imaging methods are very advanced and in the hands of a competent specialist. Treatments for these disorders now involve conservative physical therapy directed to the female urogenital tract, medications, and, of course, surgery. This segment of Health Frontiers details the ongoing research in this vital area of urogynecology.
