Get Help With Pelvic Floor Recovery
Our pelvic floor specialists routinely care for women with pelvic health concerns after childbirth. Your pelvic floor muscles play an important role in bladder and bowel control, sexual function and keeping internal organs in place. Carrying and giving birth to a baby can stretch your pelvic floor muscles and lead to unwanted symptoms. These symptoms can include urinary or bowel incontinence, pain or discomfort during sex and pelvic organ prolapse (when one or more of the pelvic organs drop out of their normal position and into the vagina). While it can take several weeks or months for your pelvic floor muscles to recover after pregnancy and birth, you should talk to your doctor sooner if your symptoms are affecting your daily life.
Our pelvic health specialists offer exceptional care in diagnosing and treating pelvic health issues after giving birth. We provide a caring and respectful environment so you can feel comfortable talking about your concerns and feel supported while we work on healing your pelvic floor. Our team members won’t treat you like a number. You deserve compassionate treatment from providers who care for you as a person, and that’s what you can expect at St. Luke’s.
