Understanding Your Pelvic Health

The pelvic region is home to quite a few muscles and organs, including your bladder, rectum and reproductive organs. When these important parts aren't working properly, it can cause problems, including pain and incontinence.

You're not alone in this either. One in three women of child-bearing age experiences chronic pelvic pain and one in five women experiences pelvic floor disorder.

Pelvic health issues are common, but not normal. They aren't just part of aging or having children. Unfortunately, many people put up with it or suffer in silence because they aren't comfortable talking about it, even with their doctor. If you think you may have a pelvic health issue, we're here to help.

• Severe steady or intermittent pain in the pelvic area.
