Özet

Pelvic floor dysfunction refers to a condition where the muscles, ligaments and comnnective tissues (eg. fascia) in the pelvic region do not functions properly) Pelvic floor dysfunction can lead to issues with bowel and bladder control, pelvic pain, pelvic organ prolapse (descent of the uterus or other pelvic organs) and sexual discomfort which all these can significantly and negatively impact woman’s quality of life. Moreover, pelvic floor disorders (PFD)  cause embarassment and anxiety feelings in women who suffer silently from them and lead to being asocial, absenteeism from work and reduce participation in family/friend gatherings or any kind of leisure activities (travelling, swimming, jogging etc). Symptoms such as pelvic pain, urinary or fecal/anal incontinence or defecation or urination difficulties, pelvic organ prolapse and dysparonia can have both physical and emotioanal consequences, affecting the daily activities, relationships and overall well-being.
