Urinary Incontinence and Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Many women experience the involuntary loss of urine (incontinence) and a falling down (descent or prolapse) of their pelvic organs. There are many treatment options for these problems, including lifestyle changes, weight loss, pelvic exercises, medical and surgical treatments.
