How to Use the Knowledge Portal

The Knowledge Portal is filled with information on the different conditions that fall under the umbrella term “Pelvic Floor Dysfunction” (PFD). This information should help to increase your understanding of PFD which will empower you or someone you know. One in three women will suffer some form of PFD in her lifetime. By sharing this information, we are hoping to help women, not only through the empowerment that comes with knowledge, but also through the solidarity that comes with knowing that you are not alone.

We have structured the information by creating a page explaining pelvic floor dysfunction, the pelvic floor muscles and the impact of hypertonicity and hypertonicity. This should give you a foundational understanding before you delve into the different symptoms that are caused by a dysfunctional pelvic floor. Pages have been created for each of the main symtpoms of pelvic floor dysfunction: Pelvic Pain, Urinary Incontinence, Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Sexual Dysfunction. Under each of these pages, you will find additional pages that break these symptoms down further as well as detailing conservative (non-surgical) and invasive (surgical) treatments for these symptoms.

If you don’t find what you are looking for, we have added a search bar at the bottom of each page to help you. You can also jump over to our community (which will open in a separate tab) where you can ask questions and connect with others who are dealing with pelvic floor dysfunction.
