              Improving the Quality of Your Life

              Urinary stress incontinence and other pelvic floor disorders can severely impact physical activities and enjoyment of life. Sadly, many women often live with these uncomfortable and sometimes painful conditions for years without realizing anything can be done. Or, they’re too embarrassed to talk about them. The compassionate providers with BCH's Boulder Women's Care can help restore pelvic function and improve your quality of life.

              Treatment for Pelvic Floor Disorders

              The pelvic floor is a complex group of muscles and tissue that form a “hammock” across the pelvis. It keeps the uterus, bladder, bowel and other pelvic organs in place. A range of issues can weaken or damage that hammock and make one or more of the organs stop working properly — such as vaginal childbirth, loss of estrogen from menopause, hysterectomy, chronic coughing and frequent straining during bowel movements — leading to a pelvic floor disorder.

              Boulder Women's Care offers comprehensive services for managing pelvic floor disorders, including diagnostic testing and a wide range of treatments. Treatments include pessaries, biofeedback, bladder slings, medications and minimally invasive surgical treatments, including minimally invasive robotic-assisted surgery.

              Pelvic Organ Prolapse

              Pelvic organ prolapse is a type of pelvic floor disorder that is a fact of life for 1 in 3 women who have gone through childbirth, menopause or a hysterectomy. A prolapse happens when the pelvis muscles and tissues can no longer support pelvic organs, causing them to drop or press into or out of the vagina.

              The different types of pelvic organ prolapse depend on the pelvic organ affected. The most common types include a dropped bladder (cystocele), dropped rectum (retocele) and dropped uterus (uterine prolapse).

              Pelvic organ prolapse can cause a bulge in the vagina that can sometimes be felt or seen. Women with this condition may feel uncomfortable pressure during physical activity or sex.

              Other symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse include:

              • Vaginal fullness or pressure
              • Leaking urine or chronic urge to urinate
              • Problems inserting tampons
              • The feeling of sitting on a small ball
              • Difficult and painful intercourse
              • Low back or pelvic pain
              • Constipation, straining or pain during bowel movements

              Stress Urinary Incontinence

              Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the unintentional loss of urine during sudden movement or physical activity such as laughing, sneezing or running. It is the most common pelvic floor disorder.

              Weakened muscles in the pelvis cause the bladder to drop down into a position that prevents the urethra from closing completely. The result is urine leakage.

              Pelvic organ prolapse is a common cause of SUI. However, it isn’t the only one. Weakened muscles in the pelvic floor stemming from physical changes to the body can also trigger a leaky bladder: pregnancy, obesity, smoking and overuse of bladder irritants such as coffee, alcohol or carbonated beverages.

              Schedule a Consultation

              If you suffer from symptoms of a pelvic floor disorder, schedule a consultation at Boulder Women's Care by calling 303-441-0587.
