Pelvic floor disorders affect millions of women and men of all ages, often compromising their quality of life. At UT Southwestern Medical Center, our multidisciplinary team offers a full range of state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques, as well as nonsurgical, surgical, and robotic treatment options for pelvic floor disorders.
We also have comprehensive rehabilitation programs to
treat pelvic-related conditions in a thorough and patient-centered manner.
It’s possible to significantly minimize symptoms and restore quality of life with proper treatment of pelvic musculoskeletal dysfunction, even if pelvic problems are caused by a disease like endometriosis or nonbacterial prostatitis.
We take a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosing and treating pelvic floor disorders, using a team of specialists who work closely together to facilitate care and provide the best possible outcomes. Among our specialists are nationally recognized experts in the fields of:
Our collaboration with subspecialists from other fields ensures that patients have some of the best medical minds working for them, from the point of diagnosis all the way through treatment.
Our physicians might do a postural and structural assessment, a neurological evaluation, and musculoskeletal and neuromuscular examinations. We also offer electrodiagnostic and radiologic evaluations, if necessary, to confirm the diagnosis.
We offer nonsurgical, surgical, and robotic treatment options, so patients have access to a broad range of leading-edge care. Among the pelvic floor treatments we offer are:
Pelvic rehabilitation is an effective method for treating pelvic pain, pelvic muscle dysfunction, and back or pelvic pain and associated disorders resulting from pregnancy and the postpartum period. Our goal is to reduce pain, increase function, and restore quality of life.
Treatments are administered by an experienced and skilled team of physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians who specialize in treating disorders of the muscle, bone, and nerves. They’re joined by a staff of certified, specially trained therapists who are experts at working with patients who are suffering from pelvic pain and dysfunction.
Pelvic floor rehabilitation treatments we offer include:
Proper treatment can alleviate these conditions and help patients enjoy their pregnancy and life with their new babies.
Pregnancy and postpartum conditions we treat include:
Research being performed at UT Southwestern shows promising treatments might reduce the recurrence of pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms. An ongoing clinical trial, led by UT Southwestern’s David Rahn, M.D., is examining the effectiveness of vaginal estrogen – a supplemental, nonsurgical therapy – to reduce symptom recurrence and spare more women the risks and financial implications of revisional surgeries. We’re also studying how vaginal estrogen may impact other pelvic floor disorders such as overactive bladder, urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction and painful intercourse, and postoperative bladder infections.
