What Is Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?

• Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) occurs when the pelvic muscles are too weak, too tight, or not coordinating properly.

• These muscles support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs.

Dysfunction can affect men and women.

• Leads to problems with urination, bowel movements, posture, and sexual function.
