Tessa sat down with urogynecologist Dr. Solafa Elshatanoufy and pelvic floor physical therapist Preena Nair to have a conversation that many women might find embarrassing to have. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and connective tissue in the pelvic area. Pelvic floor disorders occur when the supporting tissue within the pelvic floor is weakened or damaged. As a result of this weakness or damage, the muscles are not able to contract and relax normally which interferes with the body’s normal elimination process via the bowel or bladder.
Pelvic floor disorders are common but shouldn’t be considered “normal”. The symptoms can be managed, addressed, or improved especially if they’re interfering, or preventing you from doing your daily activities. Based on your specific condition and health goals, Memorial Hermann can help develop a plan of treatment to get you back on the road to recovery and feeling like yourself.or give them a call at 713-222-CARE Copyright 2024 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.Heather Kansteiner is a supervising producer for Houston Life.
