Pelvic Health

What is pelvic health?

Pelvic health refers to the structure and function of the organs in the pelvic area of your body. For women, this includes the:

• Uterus
• Ovaries and fallopian tubes
• Cervix
• Vagina
• Urinary system
• Large bowel
• Pelvic floor muscles

Women are more likely to experience pelvic health problems because of pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause.

What are common pelvic health problems?

Women's Care of Beverly Hills is a full-service obstetrics and gynecology practice that manages the health and wellness of women through every stage of their life. The team includes physicians that specialize in pelvic health problems, such as:

Pelvic pain

Pelvic pain is a common symptom of many gynecological, urinary, and digestive conditions. The team at Women's Care of Beverly Hills can diagnose and treat many of these pain-causing conditions. 

Pelvic floor dysfunction

The pelvic floor muscles run horizontally across the pelvic area from the tailbone to the pubic bone. They support the bowel, bladder, uterus, and vagina. When contracted, the pelvic floor muscles hold the organs in place. When relaxed, they allow for the elimination of urine and feces.

Pelvic floor dysfunction occurs when these muscles are too tight or too loose, causing problems like incontinence, prolapse, or pain during intercourse.

Incontinence

Incontinence is the loss of control over the bowel or bladder. Weakened or damaged pelvic floor muscles are a common cause of urinary incontinence in women. 

Pelvic organ prolapse

Changes in the strength of the pelvic floor muscles cause pelvic organ prolapse, which is when the pelvic organs fall into or out of the vagina.
