Are you one of the nearly 24% of all US women are affected with one or more pelvic health disorders?
Pelvic health problems are more common than you think. Did you know that pelvic issues affect more than 40% of women between the ages of 60-79 and at least 50% of women 80 and older? But it isn’t just a “mid-life” issue, childbirth and Cesarean sections contribute to pelvic health issues for women in their 20s and 30s – especially women who have given birth to more than one child. Other pelvic health conditions like excessive bleeding and endometriosis affect younger women as well.
As any woman challenged with a pelvic health disorder knows, these issues can easily affect quality of life. What many women may not know is that these issues are treatable. New therapies, medications, and procedures offer hope to women currently handling their pelvic health issues alone.
