摘要
Women who suffer from pelvic floor dysfunction may experience myriad symptoms including disorders of urination and defecation, sexual dysfunction, and pelvic discomfort. A careful history and physical examination are important to identify lifestyle or medical factors that may contribute to a patient's symptoms. A thorough pelvic examination with a complete description of support topography is vital to delineate treatment options and should be performed in a standardized fashion.
