The pelvic floor is a medical term used to describe the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue that provide support for internal organs, which in women consist of the bowel, bladder, uterus, vagina, and rectum. The female pelvic floor is designed to prevent these organs from falling down or out, as well as help these organs function properly. Millions of women in the United States alone suffer from pelvic floor problems. Many of those who seek treatment from medical centers like Academic Urology & Urogynecology of Arizona are able to live a better quality of life.
