Description
The monograph "Disorders of the Pelvic Floor" addresses issues encountered by approximately 24% of adult women. The prevalence of the condition increases with age, affecting about 38% of women aged 60-79 and around 50% of women aged 80 and older. Pelvic floor disorders remain an underestimated problem today, likely because they manifest in the older population and involve highly intimate symptomatology. Although it is a condition with very low morbidity and no mortality, it has a strong negative impact on quality of life and is associated with high treatment costs. This concise and clearly structured monograph describes the epidemiology, clinical symptoms, diagnostics, and therapeutic options for pelvic floor disorders, emphasizing the necessary collaboration between proctologists, urologists, and gynecologists. Basic information is also provided for general practitioners and medical students.
