Multidisciplinary, academic expertise for treating pelvic floor disorders and dysfunction

Erlanger offers fellowship-trained expertise in evaluating and treating pelvic floor disorders and dysfunction, including incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. Our team includes OB/GYN and urogynecology providers who work together to offer the latest minimally invasive and non-surgical therapies to help ensure the right course of treatment.

What Are Pelvic Floor Disorders?

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, ligaments, and supporting tissues that form a sling, which holds the pelvic organs in place. The pelvic organs include the vagina, cervix, uterus, bladder, bowel, and rectum. 

Pelvic floor disorders cause abnormal bowel and urinary function and pelvic pain. These disorders are common among women and can be linked to pregnancy, childbirth, and aging.
